High-Level Project Summary
To show the Earth's power, we created a fun character for kids inspired by Captain America. This character is called "EARTHY". Earthy has a new superpower every week and it is presented to kids by white board animation videos on our website. Kids get the chance to guess EARTHY's superpower weekly and who writes the correct answer will be given a badge and his/her photo will be published on the website. This will enhance kids to brainstorm and answer the prompt about their planet Earth and hence they will value their planet and discover its superpowers.

Detailed Project Description
Everyone has his /her own superpower, similary we can say that everything, either big or small, living or non-living, can talk or not, has a great superpower
Because our planet Earth is the most important thing in our life, we decided to reveal its superpowers and celebrate our superhero Earth
We decided to make a character that demonstrates the most important superpowers in planet Earth and call it "Earthy"
The most important power in Earth in our opinion is the atmosphere so we made an atmosphere shield for our superhero Earthy that will protect it from all the evil harmful ultra violent rays (UV-A). Earthy fights with his atmosphere shield to protect us all, so we will demonstrate Earthy's effort in a video and publish it on a website to let people know how our superhero Earthy and his atmosphere shield protect us. Later, other superpowers will be demonstrated and published as videos too. Before that we will let the children guess EARTHY's next superpower based on the prompt we add weekly to our website. The kids will send their answers on the website form and we will contact the winners who wrote correct answer to get their photos to publish them on our website and send them their "EARTHY Fans" badge. Hint:EARTHY's next superpower is gravity and his weapon will be "gravitational stick" that attracts everything to EARTHY ;) The winning kids will help us decide the features of next week's costume and weapon for EARTHY.
The design of Earthy was inspired by a very famous superhero holding a shield and it is Captain America, we aim to connect more young children with earth by this way so that they could value our planet earth and let them guess its superpowers to maintain the sustainability of SuperpowEarth.
The design of the character was done by photoshop
The website video was done by Explee and Clipchamp
The coding of the website was done by VS code using HTML, CSS , JS and bootstrap.

Hackathon Journey
This year's experience was really out of this world awesome! It started from the challenge that melted our hearts as we knew it will be very enjoyable for us as a team and also for our audiences whom we choose to be kids who love Justice League . We choose this challenge too because I have just started learning about character design and I thought it would be really helpful for me and my team to dive deep and try designing our new earth character . Later, our aim was to spread this enthusiasm that we have to all kids by letting them imagine a character and tell us about the features that they want in it , but this will be after they correctly answer our weekly prompt . This will enhance kid's imagination and will help us make it come true. The challenge was very fun to tackle , and we are glad that we will get to make a new costume and weapon and video every week as this process was the real happy moment during our challenge. Ending, we would like to thank our family for supporting us and giving us feedback about our work.
