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.

Spacology 4 kids

Summary

The society we live in includes people with different:_ ages_ academic degree_personalitiesSo, they vary in their best ways to receive information, by searching and observation we concluded that:_children`s category is the most oppressed in learning space sciences_As some people see that space science is very complicated for children to understand.So, we designed a web for children that offers information about:_celestial bodies_space phenomenaIn a simplified way, as this information was integrated with an interesting conversation between 8-year-old Tom and the alien G.R.T in an adventurous story.And by this, children can learn more about space considering their mentality.

How We Addressed This Challenge

As it`s known, any Astronomy content is found formally, however in books or websites. But what about children. They have the right to understand their planet and what lies outside it. So, it was thought of a way that could facilitate the space content to kids and also make it exciting. So our solution was derivative from the quote which says " The human species thinks in metaphors and learns through stories " A website is created which provides funny stories explain space concepts and theories. These stories are written interestingly to attract children and entertain them. Also, the webpages are designed simply and easily to be easy for surfing. Hopefully, our project could help children in learning space facts.

How We Developed This Project

After reading NASA's challenges, our team tried to choose the most reliable problem which "is creating a mascot". It's known that kids` education is a big challenge in most countries as they are the future builders. They also have the right to learn for the world they live in. So, It was concluded that the best way they could understand the space data through is the stories. Then a website was created using "Wix web" to achieve it in a short time. After that stories were added simply and funnily to attract them. It was tried as possible to make these stories funny and rich in reliable information to provide them with entertainment and education. We faced many challenges. First the limited time, we made a great effort to finish the website. Also writing the Astronomy content in form of interesting stories was another challenge for us. But in my opinion, It benefits us a lot and develops our skills.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

Space agencies data was highly required in this project as:

_our project depends on designing a web that includes information 

 about space in a simplified way in a form of a story for children 

So, we needed a lot of data from the space agencies, to put in the stories, for example :

_ information about the solar system

-interesting facts about each planet

-information about the stars

- the difference between meteors and meteorites

- the importance of astronaut`s suit

- how do space phenomena occur

And after collecting this information, we made it in the form of an interesting story for children
