Inspiration

On an expedition to Mars, an organized, well-structured schedule is paramount to efficient use of the crew's most valuable resource: time. Our product provides tools for astronauts to stay on top of their agenda by partitioning the hours of the day into several categories, including: eating, sleeping, exercise, work, and entertainment/free time.

What it does

There are two parts to our utility. The first is a virtual digital clock which is adjusted to martian time. The second is a web calendar which allows the user to add and remove calendar events to and from a dynamic list.

How we built it

The digital clock is rendered using an HTML5 canvas element. We used the JavaScript time API (i.e. the Date class) to keep time. The calendar is written in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with webfonts via the Google Fonts API.
