High-Level Project Summary
With the help of these data of the NASA POWER, it will allow a wide segment of users dedicated to renewable energy, agriculture, civil protection, urban planning, etc., to make better decisions as well as to evaluate the performance of their projects. The NASA POWER project provides a large amount of climatological data which for its consultation and interpretation requires scientific knowledge. In addition, there is no easily accessible way to consult them, this leads to the general population not being able to interpret them adequately. Our project proposes a way to bring this data to the general public through a mobile application.

Detailed Project Description
We have developed a prototype of a mobile application, which helps non-technical people to understand the data provided by Nasa Power, it is important because from it they can take action in different fields, such as agriculture and urban development.
A mobile application is developed for the main operating systems iOS and Android, which is very intuitive to use and will help people from different fields with non-technical knowledge to interpret and use the data provided by Nasa Power, since being hard data, it needs to be simplified to use them, it is recommended for people over 18 years old, and can be used in all areas, for example, a farmer who wants to analyze whether the place where it will be feasible, can consult records of rainfall in recent years or how much incidence of solar radiation reaches that area, providing a useful addition to meet the needs of a changing society.
It is intended to be developed with Dart and the framework, which allows us to have a cross-platform code that when compiled can be done natively for the operating system to be installed. To show the results of the graphs and ways to interpret them we will use open data provided by NASA and resources from space agencies such as the Mexican one.
Space Agency Data
We use the API of the NASA POWER project to obtain climatological data such as: solar radiation, precipitation, humidity and cloudiness in a given area.
Hackathon Journey
I Emmanuel Alberto Diaz Arellano, i learned a lot about the challenges facing humanity today and in the future as well as the tools we have thanks to NASA that we can take advantage of to improve aspects of everyday life.
I Jose Benito Romero learned about how to make high fidelity prototypes, the different data that NASA collects and manages, and I was also able to understand more deeply how we can help solve the challenges of this new space race and how humanity will be involved day by day.
It inspires us that we want a world with more knowledge and that this is understandable for everyone, because when we are technical people we ignore certain things that until they happen to us is how we become aware of what it means, that is why there must be access to safe, easy and understandable information.
We would like to thank Lic. Abigail Ramirez Beltran who was our mentor and helped us by giving us feedback to make our design more user friendly, besides helping us with the logo of our mobile application.
