SEEING THE UNSEEABLE - VIEWING BUGS FROM SPACE

High-Level Project Summary

Many natural and human factors, especially global warming, harm the ecosystem in the world. As a result of this damage, migration is observed in many winged creatures.The majority of these migrations are carried out by the insect family, which has approximately 1 million species. This change in the ecosystem harms agriculture, industry, soil structure, and animals that feed on plants. We as humans can use Coccinellidaes instead of chemicals to end this change. With the interaction of Coccinellidaes and aphids with each other, we can enable plants to photosynthesize. In this way, we keep the ladybug population in balance and prevent the extinction of both ladybugs and indirectly other insect.

Detailed Project Description

With the excessive use of chemicals, most of the insects in the world are forced to migrate. After this migration, insects struggle with the living things in the region they migrated to. This is not normal for either part. Changes in the ecosystem herald the global problem on a large scale. With the use of this chemical, the ecosystem has started to deteriorate further. People should now resort to more natural remedies. When the interaction of coccinellidaes and aphids are examined, we can say that this solution can prevent the global problem. Aphids, which feed on the sap of the plants and prevent the plants from performing photosynthesis, reproduce very quickly. Therefore, in places where the population of ladybugs is low, aphids begin to multiply very quickly. As a result, we get unproductive soil and agricultural crops. People use aphids chemically to achieve economic prosperity. Humankind try to destroy aphids with the using of chemicals. In order to avoid this disorder, we can use the interaction between aphids and coccinellidaes. In this way, insect population can be undercontrolled.

Hackathon Journey

It was the best experiment of my entire life. I even cannot describe what I've learned. We all have an interest in biology and we thought that how can we use it for humanities and our world. We've read a lot of essays. We've tried to reach all the information that could be useful for us. Sometimes we lost our motivation but we've seen the hardships people go through in these times and we thought we could fix this with just science. After all, it would be absurd to expect someone to save us while we have the opportunity. Like Mustafa Kemal Ataturk has said ''The supreme guide in life is science.''

And we all thank our English teacher Mr. Ulas Aytug Bayram and Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
