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.

I, ASTRONAUT

Summary

Did you know that NASA studies the space and our planet, EARTH? Based on this and the lack of proximity of children with the sciences developed by our business the “I, Astronaut”, we developed a twined platform created for children that will tell the stories of the business of Earth Sciences of NASA in an adventure that includes the access to a variety of avatars that the child could pick, friends that could complete the missions with them, starting from a video that that will lead to the competition of a quiz about the story told, for each correct answer the child will advance to a new level that will enrich their knowledge developed thought books and events provided by our business.

How We Addressed This Challenge

Through the twined platform we will present the story of the business of Earth Sciences by NASA, this project is relevant because of its promotion of the proximity of children, special girls, with the universe of astronomy and science, providing the resources for educators such as parents and teachers that will motivate their kids and students to engage into this subject. The child will access the game and pick his/her persona, the friend that they want to help them to engage into this adventure, and the planate they want to explore, to kick off, the planet Earth. The child will watch a video that will tell the history of Earth Science: NASA’s Mission to Our Home planet, after completing a quiz that will unlock the next level, where the child will explore new stories of our business. Our motivation is to approximate parents, teachers, and kids to the stories, missions, and discoveries that our business has completed through the years of our project that still in action.

How We Developed This Project

I, ASTRONAUT was developed marvelapp.com with the help of image editing tools such as photshop. images taken from google.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

Use of the article "Earth Science: NASA’s Mission to Our Home Planet" to developed prototype https://www.nasa.gov/50th/50th_magazine/earthSciences.html#:~:text=%22We%20shall%20never%20cease%20from,place%20for%20the%20first%20time.%22
