High-Level Project Summary
Looking through the tasks, we were attracted by the Jaime Webb's Telescope challenge. In fact, few of our friends know at least some information about space, except that the sun is a star. So we decided to expand people's knowledge and wanted to start with the James Webb Telescope to show people how a telescope actually works, how huge it is, and how complex technical and design marvel it is. Thanks to this project, we were still able to show that science and truth is closely related to art.

Detailed Project Description
We tried very hard to make parts of it moveable to make it more realistic. We've made the top, front and back sections movable:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HVTDRep2Y5VqDJ2M3gsALxrKCgOWEkhW/view?usp=sharing
To better understand its functions, we watched a video on YouTube on the Nasa channel.

Hackathon Journey
This was the first and most important experience for all members of our team in our life. I still cannot believe that a large telescope is flying in space now (I think that from the photographs we will not be able to understand its full scale).
When we were told that if we take first place in the hackathon, we will fly to America and see the rocket look with our own eyes. And perhaps this is one of the important things that forced us not to stop.
We had little money, not enough materials and little time to completely build The James Webb Space Telescope the way we envisioned it. We all had thoughts to quit everything and just leave the hackathon. But we immediately thought of one thing "America, wait for us!"
We had a lot of problems with the moving parts of the telescope, we just didn't know how to make them. Until Marina said that you can use toothpicks. Danial was in charge of the moving lower parts, and Adel's upper parts.
I am very glad that they agreed to participate with me in the hackathon. It is thanks to them that we have created such a great team. I am very grateful to them for their work.
