Orbital Sky

A huge number of satellites in Earth's orbit support our day-to-day life on the ground. Your challenge is to develop a method to improve public knowledge of these satellites, with an eye towards driving user engagement, enthusiasm, and exploration.

SKYWATCH

Summary

Launching a yearly competition “BUILDING THE ISS” related to satellites, participants will have to build the ISS through the knowledge they acquired in SKYWATCH mobile App.

How We Addressed This Challenge

Moroccan youth do not have a suitable background to understand satellites and how they work. This app will solve the problem by providing an enjoyable user-friendly interface that will contain maps and videos to help users fully grasp information about satellites with a final competition "BUILDING THE ISS" for interested high scored participants. Hopefully, the added value of the app will promote astronomy literacy in Moroccan students and fostering independant learning.
