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.

Galaxy Shooter Educational Game

Summary

The challenge that we work on it to develop a method to improve public knowledge of satellites, with an eye towards driving user engagement, enthusiasm, and exploration. After a huge discussion, We found that Games, on the other hand, fascinate students and bring a sense of engagement. When games are used in an educational environment game-based learning and thus, follow the curriculum established objectives and contents, they can be used to deliver lessons that are more learner-centered, easier, more enjoyable, more interesting, and more effective. Moreover, such games can increase the learning factor.

How We Addressed This Challenge

In our project, we use the game as a way to solve the challenge as there are much researches that prove that Games have been used in educational endeavors for many decades. There is a multitude of studies involving games for educational purposes. One of these studies showed how to arouse students’ interest in courses and willing to spend time learning course content has become an important research issue. Since there are not yet any games constructed in operating system courses, this study used operating systems to design the course, adding game elements in the course, so that students can play games in a context learning course. After the game, the students were asked to fill out feedback sheets and undergo interviews. A game questionnaire was also designed to measure the level of attraction to the students. Experiment results proved that adding game elements in operating system courses can increase the level of attraction of courses to students, and the students would be willing to spend time in courses because they want to win, thus fulfilling the purpose of elevating learning motivation. This way is very similar to our solution to solve the challenge. And by these, all researches that prove using educational games is the best way if you want to educate anything. And based on these researches we do our game and project


How We Developed This Project

Hardware :


We use our laptops and phones to make researches

Also we use our mobile phones to connect between us.

Software:

We use computer programming to make the game graphic and motion.


We use the programming language C# that is used to write the codes and to write the instructions about the game in it

We use the application called "Unity" this is taking all the

We use unity application 

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project


·       A web service that allows access to satellite situation data, allowing tracking of their locations.

https://data.nasa.gov/Earth-Science/SSC-RESTful-Web-Services-API/tngu-vb3z

·       A 3D Globe visualization API. Useful for viewing the earth from the satellite's eye

https://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/

·       Older dataset containing satellite images of the earth's surface:

https://data.nasa.gov/dataset/CORONA-Satellite-Photography/4rni-qjx7

Data from the world's first space telescope dedicated to detecting and tracking asteroids and satellites. Unlike ground-based telescopes, NEOSsat is able to track satellites and space debris in a wide variety of locations and not be limited by geographic location, the day-night cycle, or weather.
