Mission to Planet Earth: A Digital History

NASA’s activities in space have brought new knowledge of the Earth, inspiring new ways of thinking about humanity and the planet. However, many people aren’t aware that NASA studies the Earth in addition to other planets. Your challenge is to tell stories of NASA’s Earth science enterprise using interactive digital tools. This will test your technical skills and your ability to think like a historian or educator.

We decided to build website highlighting NASA’s role in clarifying phenomena by space missions.

Summary

The project is based on behalf of several beliefs. After the great descoveries known worldwide about what NASA did in space and galaxies, we came to deliver another important aspect affecting us directly. The project is providing an interactive platform explaining various phenomena and descoveries NASA had an infeluence at. It includes articles, infographics and mini quizzes separated for every age range and prior knowledge, where you can specify if you request kids, high schoolers or college students, or grown-ups content. Furthermore, it supports a discussion forum specified for questions where also every age range is welcomed. We would be developing along with experienced scientists.

How We Addressed This Challenge

This projects aims make the learning about NASA's work in Earth science more easier and engaging experience specially for younger generations. To achieve that we developed a website to using django framework for back- end developments. Besides, postrgreSQL, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, bootstrap 4 and SASS.

The website is focused on sharing the knowledge with all different kinds of prior knowledge, for this porous, it consists of categories with different levels to fit all the users need.

We hope to work more on the development of this project,, by adding a realtime forum for discussions and additional content

How We Developed This Project

We started the whole project by an aim only, who was processed till what we have reached. As the most suitable challenge for our beliefs and skills, we read the details attached as well as NASA resources and found our pathway collecting any improvement that can be done. We started researching on phenomena that affected our existence and future on earth lead by NASA and studied the aspects and then captured it technically with our website and database. In addition, another parallel way was studying the business impact and affections. We are deciding to continue and count the further steps with both technical and business updates to move forward with our project. The website would be built by Python Django framework for back-end development. Besides, interacting with the website content by PostgreSQL. For what's going to be displayed on the client-side, we will be using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Bootstrap 4 and SASS.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

We used NASA's resources as a source for images and information on the phenomena contributed to the discovery of Satellite Aqua
