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.

To infinity and beyond!!!

Summary

We draw a character inspired by laika (the first animal to go into space) Besides that he cares about people

How We Addressed This Challenge

We develop a pet, it is important as it helps inspire the different children around the world to become familiar with the space. Every time our “laikita” mascot sees someone without interest in space, he tries to convince that person or more good kids who like space, we hope to get more people, "specifically children" interested in space

How We Developed This Project

In the first part, he inspired us to draw a mascot that could help the children on this planet called earth to become familiar with outer space; Our first focus was laika, a character very recognized by the world, lives on Mars; We don't use any tools except the pencil, the eraser, and a blade; There was only one problem which was communication at the beginning since we could not communicate with some members and we were all nervous, but in the end we knew how to stay calm and we looked for a way to communicate with the missing members and our achievement is to have the opportunity to be in this event.
