Combatting Covid-19 Pandemic 😷
Foundational programme, ‘Project Mars’ is a mission to colonise Mars and promote space tourism which is centred around six engaging and stimulating puzzles that students collaboratively solve to complete.
This project is inspired by the real-life SpaceX mission to colonise Mars. We hope to enlighten our students with the knowledge and passion to be a part of such big endeavours in the future.
Develop a dashboard website
In the first puzzle you have to take the role of a web developer to create an informative COVID monitoring dashboard that fetches real-time stats from API’s.
