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.

NASA history with climate change

Summary

We made a game which is an easy way to tell the players about NASA history on earth. The idea of the game is to contain different regions, and each region includes a story with NASA studies of climate change. when the player moves, he will know something new about climate change from the data that NASA collects to help us study the earth. this game is an easy and fun way to help people -especially children- to know some new information about earth science.

How We Addressed This Challenge

Our project works to develop a greater ability to understand the history of NASA studies with climate change, and uses an easy and fun way to communicate information well. It is important because people can learn from our project information about NASA and know that it is an important organization that focuses not only on exploring outer space but also problems on our planet such as climate change “the topic of our game”. Our game features a person taking players to different regions; In each region, this person tells us about the effects of climate change on it. All of this data is gathered through NASA studies on Earth sciences. We hope that game to make players know information about climate change and know its effects and causes.

How We Developed This Project

This challenge was the best choice for us because storytelling is better than anything else to use our skills and we found that it is the best way to put in the effort. Our approach to developing the project was as follows:

  1. After choosing the challenge, we were quick to see NASA's resources for this challenge.
  2. By looking at NASA resources and also doing our research, we have chosen the main topic of our research which is climate change and we will tell its effects in an interesting story.
  3. We decided to make a game as it would be easier to make the information understandable in a fun way.
  4. We defined the game design and how the game will work.
  5. We organized the way in which we will discuss the impacts of climate change.
  6. We made sure that the game would work as we wanted, then set its instructions.

We used scratch and illustrator apps, windows software and hp laptop. Our problems were at the beginning of the business as it was very difficult to get an idea, but after we got it, it was easier to complete our project without any problems. On the other hand, we have achieved a lot. The most important achievement is that we finished designing our game in record time and made it as we wanted and better.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

We used NASA resources to know about NASA history and missions on earth. We used NASA data that talk about climate change, as we searched in NASA site about everything in this topic and it helped us to collect new information. We searched in NASA site and resources in the challenge about the effects and causes of the climate change and we use this information in the game.
