With our project we hope to improve the understanding of SAR and make the information more accessible to people who do not have a deep knowledge of the subject, all with the expectation that they will be interested in the benefits that SAR can generate for the community. 

We used Canva for our project, which allowed us to adapt to the availability of our colleagues to complete the project, as well as make it more visually appealing to the public.

We use Miro to help us get organized and establish a work plan to meet our project goals.

• We use EARTHDATA to consult SAR resources to understand what it is, how it works and what advantages it can offer compared to other technologies, as well as to investigate its practical applications around the world.
• We consulted the NASA-ISRO SAR Mission (NISAR) documents, which show projects and papers on possible applications of SAR in different areas such as agriculture and disaster response, among others.
• We use information from the European Space Agency to understand the deployment of the satellite and how it works visually.
• The RADARSAT project served as a reference for us to understand the positive implications it has in Canada and what could be improved if the community were interested in learning about its applications in the world.

Our first hackathon was a memorable, unique experience that allowed us to observe that the differences among team members give us strength in their perspectives. It was also fun and interesting to learn new things and expand our comfort zone.

We chose this challenge to learn without the need to code, and in a way our skills are better directed to the dissemination of scientific knowledge.

We would like to thank Microsoft for offering such inclusive programs and allowing us to grow our curiosity, as well as our Sherpas who have guided us throughout our adventures. We would also like to thank NASA for investing time in the new generations and opening their knowledge to the general public.
