Inspiration

I wanted to make an educational app using a scrolling activity and I thought scrolling through the solar system sounded neat.

What it does

It lets you scroll through the solar system. When you click on the planets, it gives you some statistics and fun facts!

How I built it

I built SolarSystemScroller in Android Studio.

Challenges I ran into

The main challenge was a lack of time and experience. Every time I wanted to add a feature, I had to learn how to do so.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

My team gave up on our project last night, but I still wanted to make something. So, I learned Android Studio and made this overnight. A couple of teammates helped with data gathering and design.

What I learned

I learned a lot about Android Studio. This was my first time using it to such an extent.

What's next for SolarSystemScroller

Adding the Sun and adding a navigation drawer that lets the user access different solar systems.
