Nasa - Earth Stories
Summary
The information must be accessible to all, The idea of our project is to facilitate through an application to inform people about the importance of the studies that NASA does in the different terrestrial regions, we also want to provide an interactive environment between people including simulations and educational games and a section to comment and debate within each scientific article, remember the stories are already written, but our future, we will create it.
How We Addressed This Challenge
We created an application called "NASA: Earth stories" based on the challenge of being able to communicate to people and mainly to new generations the work that NASA does on earth. For that we divide Earth science into 4 categories: Climate Variability and Change, Cryospheric Sciences, Oceans and Atmospheric Composition. The ones that in our point of view NASA has the greatest impact, our target audience are high school teachers and students, since we believe that the tools We project that our application will be the beginning to bring the population closer to NASA Earth and that mainly young Latin Americans are interested in this.
How We Developed This Project
What inspired us first was to be able to communicate science and communicate what NASA does related to the earth mainly, because when you think of NASA the first thing that comes to mind is space but you do not know all the work that it takes place on earth. Our focus is the goal of getting more young people interested in the work of NASA and mainly interested in earth sciences. We used Microsoft's Powerapps tool to develop the application prototype. At first we didn't know how to code in powerapps but we learned by trying and finally we got it.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
We incorporated and wrote the information on various categories of terrestrial studies in which oceanic, atmospheric and climate change studies stand out, we also decided to find a way to make this information interesting and interactive for readers, in addition to this we incorporated some images and videos from the NASA databases.
