High-Level Project Summary
I developed an Origami that looks like the James Webb telescope. This origami is made up of some simple origamis in order to be easily replicated by children, with the objective of create an interest for the STEM areas since a young age. this is very important because the older a person is, the more difficult is to create new interests.

Detailed Project Description
It is a video that explains the process of made an origami that looks like the James Webb telescope. The origami works thanks to a combination of simple origami designs this helps a lot because to the simplicity of the individuals design every persons could recreate it without being frustrated, we hope to create an interest in the STEM areas in the children in order to have more professionals passionate with their works. In this project we use scissors, 2 yellow, 1 dark, 3 orange and 10 white paper sheets to create the origami, while to make the video we use zoom to record the video and imovie to edit.
Space Agency Data
We use the next website

in this website of the NASA we see how different part of the telescope works, thanks to this we were able to have new ideas of how doing the design.
Hackathon Journey
I would describe my experience as something new, it was the first time I created an origami so complex; it was very satisfying seen the results of a lot of hard working and thinking. I learned that with patience and creativity everything is possible. What inspires me was James Webb itself, I start thinking how many preparations work was requiring to create the James Webb in the real life. The approach used in this challenge was thinking in a way that the children can do in order to create an interest in the STEM areas. Although I was the only one in the team, I could overcome the setbacks and challenges thanks to the consultancies, in some point I was in Blank but thanks to another point of view I was able to overcome it. So, I thank very much the advisers and to the anonymous people in YouTube that uploaded origami videos.
