Create a Mascot

The world is full of scientific information that can help us make informed decisions and take action. However, that information is not always accessible to young learners. Your challenge is to create a mascot that can help make learning about Earth and space science more fun and welcoming for younger audiences.

Buh Mascot

Summary

Our mascot is called Buh he is a fictional character! It can be activated manually or selected.Buh should be installed on your browser (as if it were a puglin) because according to your search (search) it will offer you something more playful for you to learn.Do not be alarmed because it can appear from Surprise. Offering the User the option to “play” to learn about a certain Theme.When verifying what you were going to search a game with the options you chose is emulated.Learn and have fun with BUH!

How We Addressed This Challenge

Our project works in a playful way where our mascot offers the user (young person) the opportunity to learn what was researched, in the form of a game. Thus showing him the material and helping according to his needs.

How We Developed This Project

Initially we created the art of our BUH mascot. Then we had the idea of ​​implementing it in a browser plugin we could capture what was being researched. Then we provide the search data within the game, transforming the game into a "whitelabel" according to what is disgusted or sought, the search is currently working only for the NASA website but the idea is that it works for everyone in general.
