May The Space Be With You - Space Apps Challenge

May The Space Be With You| Create a Mascot

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.

Summary

We created a mascot to make explanations about space and earth more attractive to younger audiences

How We Addressed This Challenge

We created a female mascot with the intention of making the project more pleasant and more comprehensive. It is important because themes related to space are presented in a theoretical and impersonal way, and with a mascot we enable a more friendly approach.

How We Developed This Project

We thought about using more popular topics with young audiences. One of them is creating a virtual character to impersonate yourself, also known as VTuber. After that, we tried thinking about what tools we could use and ended up finding VRoid, a software that is still in beta. Then we started devoloping our own mascot. We didn't really know how to use it but our reason for participating was to gain experience.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

We did not use it. We are not applying for it to be judged.
