Our idea primarily focuses on inclusion in education, for the following reasons:

• Standard educational curriculum does not provide us with sufficient information about our galaxy. The only way to solve this issue is to start including more astronomical material in the curriculum.
• “Change is the only constant” so with changing times we must push towards a more

open and astronomical centric curriculum for initiating a creation of interest in young students.

• A film or a documentary would be a bit expensive but the end result would only show that it was worth the trouble put. NASA could partner up with social media platforms like Netflix , amazon prime, Discovery plus, etc. to launch a biopic/series on how the parker solar probe came into existence.
• Making animated content would give us the opportunity to garner a wider palette of colors thereby painting a vibrant picture of our galaxy in brief.
• Animated content would also be more friendly to the younger minds thereby making them imbibe not only a thirst but also love for knowledge about the little known sun.

As our unique idea is still in the development phase, we have not been able to go further into this. Although once we are given the green light, we will definitely devote our heart and soul into this idea.

Our project was centered around the idea of "Inclusion In Education " where extended availability of certified courses on even other third party apps like Coursera,SkillShare etc. played a major role of garnering the interest of young minds due to its ease of access. Secondly Nasa’s infamous Parker solar probe was also the limelight of our project because a real life example would definitely be a major part of our proposed inclusion of space knowledge in curriculum .

On the eve of today’s competition our team was brimming with excitement. All we could talk about was how interesting and exciting it would be to be a part of the world’s largest hackathon. 

We came to know the rules in the meeting yesterday and then made a GITHUB profile for uploading the essential documents.

After going through an array of numerous ideas and debating we came to a solid idea which we thought is the need of the hour and NASA should surely undertake i.e ‘Inclusion in Education’

Our initial presentation consisted of about 30 slides, but after viewing the template we were all pondering on how to trim it down to just 7 slides.

Somehow, after hours and hours of thinking, we came to a conclusion. The next puzzle was to design our presentation according to the style of the given template. 

We were able to make something we were satiated by using minimal resources and extensive researching while trying to stay as organic as possible.

After having the satisfaction of completing the presentation, being aware of the time we had till the commencement of mentoring sessions we tried to make ample use of the time by conducting 7-8 Mock Presentations in the hunt for perfection. 

We went from stuttering and fumbling in our first presentation to delivering a near perfect presentation without any awkward pauses ensuring a smooth transition between all our speakers. 

After presenting in front of the panel they had only one piece of advice which was to develop our ideas further , as our ideas were out of the box , unique and exemplary . We were really thrilled by their complement of our presentation being one of the best they have seen today.

In accordance to the sound advice given by our mentors we have initiated the process of making social footprints of our ideas.
