High-Level Project Summary
In this SuperPowearth challenge, I started to crack my head thinking of what kind of superhero figure to be given to the Earth. In the end, the idea of Mother Earth flashed out in my mind. As for the superpower to be given to the Earth, I had done lots of Internet studies and found that there isn't any similar assumption of creating the eighth day of a week. So, I can only assume if there is another day added to a week, the size of the earth must be getting bigger than it was. So that it makes up to 417 days in a year. Hopefully, the idea can generate a win-win situation for both the Earth and living things.

Detailed Project Description
The superpower that I wish the earth has is having the ability to make 8 days in a week.
In other words, it means this will be adding 52 days in a year, it makes one year got 417 days instead of 365 days.
With the extra one day added to a week, which I prefer to call it as Earthday, I hope that human beings can fully utilise the extra days added in a year and make good effort to protect our Mother Earth. As well, the earth may need to expand its size up to 14.25% in order to achieve the goal. So, it means the Earth may have bigger space for the living things.
My idea is hoping that both the earth and the living things can achieve a win-win situation by the superpower.
I used Microsoft powerpoint in creating the demo video and the powerpoint slides.

Hackathon Journey
In this Space Apps Challenge, I'm actually working solo. As a newbie of this apps, I have no regret to spend my time to study with the website, attending the webinar and Facebook live. Thanks to the organizers for such a good program. I hope that this program can open the change to primary school children next year, 2022. Hopefully I still can join in this program, leading my primary school kids to join this activity next year.
