High-Level Project Summary
In an ever-evolving world, it is essential to be up-to-date with emerging technologies and recurrent changes in science. We decided to create a short and dynamic video in which we remove the technicalities and the extensive theory to explain in a fun way what a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is and what is the impact that this technology has on our society.

Detailed Project Description
Our video is intended to fully explain what Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is, ensuring that anyone viewing it understands its basics. In addition, we are also interested in raising awareness about the well-known problems of deforestation and the destruction of flora and fauna. The video was edited in PowerPoint and is composed of voice notes which, in synchrony with different animations, we explain the subject.
Space Agency Data
We use the information provided by NASA to understand the theory and functionality of SAR, to understand different remote observation methods, learn the differences between a passive and active sensor and identify the problems that this new technology has helped us solve.
Hackathon Journey
Participating in this Hackathon is something that we had been planning for months and as we are about to finish our project we feel very satisfied with our performance. Also, we have certainly learned a new topic and we are very excited to be able to understand something of this complexity and to share it in an easy and fun way to anyone who is interested in the subject.Likewise, we had several complications such as synthesizing the information and editing the videos, which we resolved by following a previously established action plan and always working as a team. Finally, we would like to thank our families for supporting us in these two days of tireless work and NASA Space App Challenges for providing us with a space to challenge ourselves and promote the search for knowledge.
