High-Level Project Summary
We have developed an application that allows young people and teenagers to be part of something new, to be part of the future of innovation and technology, through origami and an application, the idea came from seeing that we asked several people about satellites and telescopes and they only answered a name or two at most, that is why the idea of JWEBB was born, to make known to others the operation of a telescope, and a way of putting art and technology into practice, since it is very important to continue advancing and knowing more about STEAM branches, in this application you can create your own "origami" of the Telescope and you can even connect it to the application.

Detailed Project Description
Our project is an application created with the inventor app, it is connected to an origami of James Webb's telescope, which at the bottom contains the Arduino board, ultrasonic sensors, cables, led lights, and others, this circuit is connected to the application through the Bluetooth module, which serves a radar and detects distant objects and sends a signal to the application, in this case, it shows us different planets.
Another function of the application is to download the Origami template, so that each child and young person can have their mini JWEBB, and can know a little about it, through the information provided in the app. The application is expected to break the barriers of the lack of scientific dissemination, which can even be used in schools and colleges to respond to how space telescopes work.
Space Agency Data
https://www.jwst.nasa.gov/ - JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE GOODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER
Mainly, we were inspired by the fact that it will be the largest and most powerful space telescope of all, and we wonder why not make a miniJWebb, which has a long convetura length, which I managed to show us some planets, and which allows us to identify each one. of its parts, from the mirrors to the sensitivity of this, thus forming what is the origami of JWEBB.
Also a brief history about this and data, that continue to expand our knowledge, both technological and artistic, with the application, which provides us with this data and gives us an interactive experience, applied to the Arduino as a planetary radar experience.
In fact, the logo of our application is inspired by the form that James Webb has taken, like a honeycomb, this being the form that will help him climb into space.
Hackathon Journey
The experience of being able to participate for the first time in the hackathon has been wonderful, from the fact that we were able to compete again as a team and be just a team of girls and be interested in STEAM areas, for us this opportunity has been one of the best, we have learned A lot, from programming with arduino to building a miniJWEBB and I think that was what inspired us the most, the fact that it has not yet been launched and it is a topic very little known by people and that it is very challenging to find a solution that teaches us to all.
Our focus was mainly on art and technology, proposing the elaboration of an origami, which can be put to work by means of an Arduino and a few other components, in addition to the necessary information that the app includes, the setbacks, we were solving them As the team that we are, we all investigated and if one could not at the time, we reassigned it and thus, the thing was to continue supporting us and moving forward.
In the same way we would like to thank NASA, SPACEAPP, for launching this great hackathon, which is capable of uniting many people who love technology and learn things, also the mentors, who helped us by giving us their approach and mainly to our families and God because they allowed us to have this great opportunity.
