High-Level Project Summary
We personify Coriolis Force, which results from the spinning of the Earth. Coriolis force affects global wind belts blowing above the ocean. Most of our ocean currents are affected by the constantly blowing winds. Coriolis Force, our hero, fights against our greatest villain, Surtr, who represents the unbalanced heat distribution. Our desires are never fulfilled. We find energy from outer space to the deep ocean trench. Coriolis leads the public to clean up beaches and rivers, reminds people to turn off power to save energy, and takes eco-friendly utensils. He escalates people’s social awareness from local to global like the wind belt. In the end, we could all go green and solve with him.

Detailed Project Description
We present our project in the form of a news broadcast. Hoping that it is more effective and resonating for people all over the world to take this issue seriously. Furthermore, guiding people's awareness of environmental protection escalates from local regions to global visions. We chose Coriolis Force as our superhero figure. Coriolis Force, which results from the rotation of the Earth and it affects global wind belts. The constant blowing wind directly causes a regular ocean current, which balanced the unbalanced heat distribution on Earth. He fights against our greatest villain, Surtr, who represents the unbalanced heat distribution. the unbalanced heat distribution results in extreme climate changes and poses threats to every kind of species. Recently, this Villian causes havoc worldwide, such as floods in Indonesia, hurricanes, and snowstorms in North America. However, these results are derived from our mankind. We exploit resources given by Mother Nature excessively. We find energy from outer space to the deep ocean trench. Coriolis Force, our hero, guides the public to clean up beaches and rivers, reminds people to turn off power to save energy, and take eco-friendly utensils wherever we are. In this case, we could eradicate the environmental pollution, ease the energy, and cut down the usage of disposable food ware. Based on the butterfly effect theory, every action we do personally would eventually influence the entire environment. We would love to give green lights to people to go green by introducing this theory and announce the severity of the butterfly effect. Easing the stress on Coriolis Force, and helping him reconstruct our Mother Earth by flourishing forests, azure sea, crystal clear rivers, and a clean sky to prevent every kind of species from extinction.
Space Agency Data
Discovering through NASA Government website that La Nina, Snowstorm and extreme cold wave in recent years are getting worse. We collect every material in the website and sort out data to announce the severity by analyzing data from NASA Government. Hoping to alert our descendant.
Hackathon Journey
In this Space Apps 10th annual challenge, we have to figure out what kind of superhero figure we are going to use and sort out data, create a video, and complete the whole task in two days. The schedule is so tight for us to waste any time within these two days. We cooperate systematically and help each other to solve every problem. Our creativity helps a lot. We choose Coriolis force as our superman figure. He guides us to go green and rebuild our planet with a clean and flourishing environment. In order to show the severity of the impact of climate change, we choose to show all of our details in a news broadcasting way. Hoping that the news broadcast could enhance people’s acknowledgment of the importance of protecting our mother Earth. Despite that there were frustrations occur during the challenge, we cheer ourselves up and work together in order to accomplish the task. Thanks for the advice from teachers in the last two days, so that we could complete our mission nice and smoothly. In addition to helping each other, the opportunity for us to work together is just so memorable and unforgettable. Just like our team name, Serendipity, the most prettiest and precious word in the whole US.
