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.

CREATE A MASCOT

Summary

Our challenge / Project was to CREATE A MASCOT which can help Making learning about Earth and Space science more fun and welcoming for younger audience.We have created a cartoonish figure of a Penguin as our Mascot character.It has the attractive pictures of space phenomena (like- Supernova explosion ) to attract young learners towards Space Science.It also shows earth in both of its hands in two different conditions and conveys us the message of saving our mother planet . We have also tried to connect NASA to the public through our mascot.

How We Addressed This Challenge

Our Challenge


Our Challenge was to create a Mascot which and influence young learners and which can increase their curiosity in earth and space science.



Here is the solution to our Challenge

Here is the open link from goggle drive which shows PPT with the explanatory video of our challenge. This contains

- Our Challenge.

-Our mascot creation.

-What do we want to achieve from our mascot?

-What impact we want to bring through our mascot?

-What message we want to convey and why it is important?

THIS IS THE MASCOT THAT WE HAVE CREATED.

How We Developed This Project

What inspired our team to choose this Challenge?

We chose this challenge because through mascot we can attract a large number of younger audienceand it is necessary for them to learn about earth and space science at a young age and also we wanted to develop their interest in this through our Mascot so that they can explore more about Earth and Space and the Mascot will also make them realize the importance of saving our planet so that they can TAKE ACTION accordingly.



How we developed our project?

Firstly we used MS PowerPoint to make our PPT presentation. Then for creating and designing our mascot we used different types of application for example PicsArt, Blenders 3D and sketchbook. and after making our presentation and Mascot we merge both of them in an editing application! And that’s how we made our project using the technology easily available around us.

How this project inhanced our knowledge and what we achieved during the making of this project?




  • By making this project, we get know more about the Research that NASA has done so far.We also get to learn more about black holes, supernova explosion and all the current situation of our earth and importance of taking steps and measures to save Earth.
  • From this we also learnt a lot about technology and the use of designing application available to us.
  • this project has made us realize the importance of Mascot in influencing people around us.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

In the following ways our project is influenced by NASA.


This link tells all about temperature variation of our earth provided by NASA, because our mascot character depicts the message of saving our planet, which will be destroyed if we'll not take steps to save it due to temperature variation shown in this data provided by NASA.

Below is the link which provides data by NASA about space phenomenon which are highlighted in our mascot.
