High-Level Project Summary
To begin with, not all schools in Kazakhstan study astronomy and space, this leads to a large gap in knowledge in these areas. This particular challenge will allow me to solve the problem of hundreds of schoolchildren. So far it looks like an interactive quiz, but in the nearest future I hope to learn programming and generate an educational game. It consists of 5 rounds in general and surprise "flash question" to add some sort of spice to the quest. These are just developments, I want to expand the project the level of a bestseller game, with picturesque landscape and other elements, to help humans to enhance the knowledge of space and its architectural and exploration perspective.

Detailed Project Description
So far it looks like an interactive quiz. It consists of the storyline, rules, "warm-up" 5 simple questions about planets, 2 rounds of multiple-choice exercises, each of 5 questions, and 2 rounds of "creative tasks", where users can solve questions as "what would you do if you find the life in an uninhabited planet" and so on. And 1 final round with a summary of all the questions above. Forgot to mention, there is one "flash" question, that can appear to anyone, at any time, to add some sort of spice to the quest. All rounds have limited time to stay in schedule and points. These are just the beginning stages of a big project, which I hope will help humans to learn about space of its versatile perspectives. For now, it was made in "Seppo", a platform that provides materials to create quests, but in the future, I hope to learn to program and create my own educational game-quest.

Hackathon Journey
Well, as a 2nd-year participant and the only member in my team, I decided to provide and work on a solution to a more valuable challenge. Last year my challenge was to create a mascot for the lunar expedition, where I took 3rd place among the contest in my city, but I did not qualify for the global hackathon. This particular failure inspired me not to give up, and create more. This year, my problematic task is "Space quest: the game". A little bit of a back story, at the beginning I wanted t code a 3d game, but after 1 day of trials and failure, decided to go the other way and create an interactive quest for educational purposes. I gained some knowledge in programming while my trials. Of course, my number one challenge was a lack of experience in the field of coding. Secondly, time hit hard, making a nearly fully finished project in one day is somehow impossible. But I believe something will come out of this. Thanks for spending your time to read this all.
