High-Level Project Summary
Our project is to make people learn space in a simple way, including the information needed to let them know a lot about space and solar system. At first a video is played talking about solar system in brief then the user takes a small quiz of 5 questions about each planet as he can see the answer after he submits the quiz, and he will know more information about the planet after the quiz. We hope as a team to benefit many people that will have the information to let them learn in easy way and not be bored as the resources are not available on internet. We used programs like Camtasia as we downloaded photos to make our videos, as we took much information from documented sites like NASA.

Detailed Project Description
Firstly, we chose our team according to our supplement, as we understand each other. We chose this project because it is difficult to collect information about space as the resources are not offered as much as plants or animals, and we want to make one game that collects all data found in space. After we had chosen our project, we started distributing tasks between each other as we had put a deadline to each other which is 2 to 3 days as we had one week to finish as we had done our project many times with low mistakes and high efficiency in designing and implementation of our project. Our project is to let people who are interested in space learn about space simply and easily, including the information needed to let them know a lot about space and the solar system. At first, a video is played talking about the solar system as brief then the user takes a small quiz of 5 questions about each planet to see the information that he knows is professional or doesn’t know any information about the planet as he can see the answer after he submits the quiz, and he will know more information about the planet after the quiz. After that, we asked many teachers about their information about space, and we took courses in programming as we used it in Camtasia as it was the best program to make our project. We hope as a team to achieve many things like benefiting many people that will have the information to let them learn easily and not be bored as the resources are not available on the internet. We used many tools and software like Camtasia as we downloaded 4K photos to make our videos, and we took much information from documented sites like NASA.

Space Agency Data
Researching is from the important problem that we found we didn't know how to get trusted information, so we ask some teachers that advised us to visit the NASA space website, JAXA website, CSA website. Those websites helped us and make our mission easier to finish due to their reliable information. Those webs helped me and my team to know more about our solar system. We collected information and put it in our project in a specific and simple way. We used also it to get information from teachers and to get information from reference books. All these things helped us to achieve our team goals. Which is to collect trusted information and arrange it by easy way.
Hackathon Journey
It is a really beautiful experience. We get a lot of experience by searching, asking teachers, doctors and also by asking some people who joined the competition before.
This experience also teaches us how to work as a team, how to research, and also how to manage our team time to finish more quickly. I gained a lot of information about our solar system and astronomy. We learned also how to use video editing apps and how to check our resources.
We chose this challenge because we want to help people who want to learn about the solar system and find it’s hard to do this because of the increase of information. Our project can solve this problem because we arrange it easily that is simple to understand and small quizzes between each planet. We know that the challenge was hard to do. So we chose it to make the challenge harder.
We used Camtasia to make the project we chose from advice that we got from our teachers. We took courses to know how to use it and after many working, we made the project.
As we mentioned before we know that the challenge is hard. In the cause of this, we find many problems and challenges solving. Like in, chose the app that we will use to do the project. But after asking many teachers we chose Camtasia and also in the time. We said that we make a plan before to know how we will work, but we find a problem that makes finishing in time so hard, but after many meetings and hardworking. We finish on time, we solve this problem.
In the end, we want to thank the teachers who helped us to finish the project because we know that without them, we will never finish the project.
