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.

Application of widgets for education

Summary

Our application will be connected to the main smartphones known in the market. The widgets for education will be the revolution for people who wanted to have in their hands simply and without much data consumption relevant information on the topic they choose.

How We Addressed This Challenge

We approach the challenge from a new point of view, instead of common applications. We will be within the reach of users in the simplest form of connection between devices, through widgets, which will be aimed at education and knowledge transmitted by NASA and partners through links and photos.

How We Developed This Project

We built our solution from the "Python for Android" connection where we created a Python Widgets and developed from an AndroidWidgets.py. for Android. That will run native on cell phones or with the possibility of installation, being made available by cell phone platforms.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

We use image mining on platforms connected with relevant Nasa information such as "flickr" with the "nasacommons" profile and sites with images and photos of the space and text information courses as well as landsat.visibleearth.nasa.gov and solarsystem.nasa. gov/planets/earth/overview.
