High-Level Project Summary
Our project is an educational game for the younger generation. To develop entrepreneurial skills by taking adventures that simulate the challenges faced by astronauts on their expedition.With the escalation of the difficulty of the tasks with the passage of days and linking the game with planning skills, resource management, team work, task coordination and risk analysis.And facing the potential dangers in the actual astronauts' flight, in addition to a variety of knowledge in agriculture, physics, astronomy and navigation.

What exactly does it do?
An educational game for the younger generation that develops and boosts their entrepreneurial skills by taking adventures that simulate the challenges astronauts usually face on their expeditions.
How does it work?
First, they need to know how to build their team, what skills they might need in order to live out in outer space.
Each team member has a different set of skills and backgrounds. As an example, a team member could be a doctor, scientists, or an engineer.. etc.
Players should know how to pick their team members that will have enough skill sets that will help them on the journey.
After they choose their team members, they will need to choose the equipment they will take with them on their shuttle, what do they need in order to survive?
What benefits does it have?
planning skills, resource management, team work, task coordination and risk analysis.
What do you hope to achieve?
To develop a game that will be a motivating reason for educating the younger generation and interest them more in astronomy and increase their knowledge about space sciences and secrets.
What tools, coding languages, hardware, or software did you use to develop your project?
The game was developed using the game engine Unity. Combined with some C# scripts, the engine took the 3D educational gaming experience to another level.

Hackathon Journey
Dspite the short time we had to complete the challenge, the experience was enriching and enjoyable, full of challenges, research and abundant information, in addition to a clear goal that was leading us and igniting our passion for achievement.
With a capable team, we were able to divide the tasks between research, story building, design and development to finish the work as required.
Special thanks to all of the team members and everyone who supported us.
This is just the beginning …
