Detailed Project Description
My project aims to inform and educate people about the importance of space travel, the specifics of the challenges humans have taken and still take with the mission of exploring the moon in mind.
The Artemis Mission are my main inspiration and I seek to show the significance and details of this operation in a simple and entertaining way in the form of a videogame where we get to experience this operation and interact with surroundings. The benefits of my project are primarily to spread knowledge and awareness about mankind’s stellar achievements and the experiences and sacrifices taken by brave men and women who took the first step to what would be the most important milestone in humanity’s history, stepping outside of our home planet and onto our satellite, the Moon.
To make my project possible, I used a 3D game engine Unity, GIMP and assets from Unity Assets Store. Most-used programming language was C#.

Hackathon Journey
I have a really good time in this hackathon. I learned how to WebGL in Unity works and how to get NASA data. I selected this Project because I have experience in Unity. Like all projects, I had setbacks that were overcome thanks to Google. I would like to thank Łukasz Bis for the invitation and Dawid Werelusz for the stone model.
