High-Level Project Summary
To make a video that is easier to understand by public. We make the slides that are simple and easier to read by the public. Besides, the photos and information that we used on slides are simple and straightforward to the point. This make sure the public can truly know what SAR is. We had searched a lot of information from the Internet to make sure that our project is full of information and are from the correct medium like NASA web. It is important because it can let the public know about SAR from different aspects and we also use the language which is English, that is known by most people.

Detailed Project Description
We did a 2 minutes long educational video on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). We used slides from PowerPoint and some editing to develop our project. In this video, we explained briefly about SAR in a very simple way so that everyone from different age level can understand what we're trying to say. Through this video, we hope that everyone will learn more about SAR and be more interested in the space technology development made by humans.

Space Agency Data
Our main resources is the official NASA website. Why do we choose the NASA website as our main resource? It's because all of the information we need from there is definitely true. This way we can avoid fake information that might mislead the learning process when people watch our video. We wouldn't want people to learn the wrong thing, right? The official NASA website has all the specific details on Synthetic Aperture Radar from it's definition to how it works.
Hackathon Journey
If we were to describe our Space Apps experience in one word, it's AMAZING. This is the first time we joined an event and competition like this and we have to be honest, the whole experience is actually very fun, although we did have a hard time on deciding what challenge we'll work on. After we did some research, we've decided that we'll choose this challenge called "What On Earth Is Synthetic Aperture Radar?" The reason we chose this challenge is because we find it very interesting how these satellites can create images of the Earth surface without depending on daylight. We're not going to lie, we did encounter some challenges and misunderstanding throughout the Hackathon, but we managed to solve every single problem as a team. Like they say, teamwork makes the dream work.
