High-Level Project Summary
we first did some research about why earth is the only habitable planet we know and how earth itself preserve the perfect standers for life. we especially focused on the different cycles in the environment and their importance to maintain steady amounts of elements that are ideal for life.then we did a sketch that represent some features of earth that make it a perfect place for creatures to live.and finally, we tried to imagine some super powers Earth could have to solve the different problems it faces that threaten its habitability.

Detailed Project Description
Earth is already a habitable planet because of many reasons such as, the magnetic field and the atmosphere that keep the globe protected against any exotic object or radiation that could come towards it from the outer space. as well as the different cycles that occur naturally - like, the carbon cycle, the rock/mineral cycle and Photosynthesis - and underpin the ability for all living things continue to thrive.
And yet, the world is facing incredibly serious environmental challenges like, Climate change, air and water pollution and deforestation. These problems and more are getting worse and more threatening and man seems to struggle a lot trying to control them.
Earth could be the superhero who will defeat all of these challenges with some superpowers it might have like, the ability to repair any damage such as cutting trees, so it can grow them so fast that it prevents any negative consequences like global warming.
People in the future may find out a way to turn this imaginary vision into something possible. they might develop a serum that boost the powers of trees to grow in a high rate.
Space Agency Data
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is an agency of the United States of America. It is responsible for the space program of the United States. It was established in the year 1957. Its annual financing was estimated at 16 billion dollars. In addition to responsibility for the space program, NASA is also responsible for long-term civil and military space research. NASA is known as the leading space agency for other agencies around the world after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
It's such an inspiration for every human, not only the students, knowledge seekers and scientist, but everyone. It's a representation of one of the humanity biggest achievements, the space. It ensures that there are no limits to our quest. It inspire us all to learn, search, ask, try, and aspire. It confirms the singularity of our planet and how we should always protect it and make it a better place.
Hackathon Journey
This has been such an amazing experience in so many ways. it is something unique that we got to do. we never knew before how these topics are really important to us personally. we learned a lot about NASA and how it does its best to get everyone involved with the quest of helping the planet. we learned how people are always eager to know more about the current circumstances of the planet and where the future is taking us. we got to know many problems our planet is facing and how serious they are. every member in our team had the pleasure to work with the other ones. we all found the SuperpowEARTH an astonishing topic. it is about the habitability of this planet and how to preserve that. it was interesting to all of us. So, we dealt with every setback by collaboration, understanding each other, and by having a persuasive argument.
thanks to our instructor for introducing us to this challenge.
