Our whole team was interested in the moon which was why we chose this challenge. We were excited about the idea of learning more about our moon and using this knowledge to inspire others to explore it further.

To inspire people to return to the moon our art project is a website and poster designed to spark people's curiosity by teaching them less well known secrets about our moon.

Our goal was to create an elegant, simple to use website that give the user concise, interesting facts. Submenus in our website lead to more information in the form of longer articles. We used a large selection of images from NASA's huge library to further persuade people to return. In order to reach a wide audience we created a concise, eye catching poster with a QR code people can scan that links to our site. We hope that our project will show people that the moon isn't just a pretty rock in the sky but vital to life on Earth with endless future scientific possibilities and a place in need of further exploration.

In the future we would love to be able to organise moon events from our website to get more people interested as well as creating more interactive elements on our website like games. Our site would be a place people can explore Moon information and share with others.

Although we would have loved to code the website ourselves using HTML, CSS and Javascript we thought that with the time we had it would be best to use Wix, a free online website creating tool, so that we could put more effort into researching new information and designing how it will look.

Our team has learnt a lot about the moon in the process of creating our website and enjoyed working together to create something we are all very proud of. Thank you!
