Mission to Planet Earth: A Digital History
A journey through time: More interesting than space, our own planet.
Summary
Currently the world rotates based on the emergence of new technologies and information provided by NASA Earth sciences in each investigation and which are of vital importance to the rest of the world. Our project is aimed at informing and educating the population, mainly children and the population with some kind of special ability about new discoveries, told in an interactive, simple and fun way. A timeline that frames the tangible history of the most significant discoveries and scientific contributions, from a different point of view, from space to earth, making the child arouse interest in new findings.
How We Addressed This Challenge
"A journey through time: More interesting than space, our own planet." We have developed educational strategies to impact the child, youth and adult population, through the use of databases provided, digital tools available for common use and free on the network, audiovisual media for the insertion of videos, audio, text and images, blog creation pages
3D editing program to create a journey through History through the timeline. We consider that our project is important because it marks a change in the way of educating and informing through the use of interactive tools that arouses the reader's curiosity for development, invention, research and creativity, and it is also possible to apply it at all ages . Our project takes a virtual tour of the different milestones, facts, and events that support the history of discoveries made by NASA on earth with the focus from space satellites, thus observing the earth from space. It works by entering a blog created where the person can enter the wonderful world of knowledge, science and observation. Entering each teaching tool provided and delving into each item, learn and encourage research. With this proposal, we hope that the above will be taken into account to strengthen and increase interest in the discovery.
How We Developed This Project
Our team, analyzing the different challenges presented, we are inspired by this vulnerable population that has been growing by leaps and bounds and in many cases lacking inspiration, unmotivated, uninterested. For this reason, we feel that developing strategies like the one we are trying to implement today can be effective in contributing to knowledge and increasing creativity, passion for science and the desire to seek more information and what better way than using the results obtained from years of NASA research observing the earth from space. The focus that we wanted to give to our project is to directly impact on the children and youth of our region, based on models and experiences shared by the NASA Earth Company. For this project we use free tools provided by the web, video editing tools, 3D programs where we make the timeline, and data provided by NASA. During the completion of this project, we presented problems such as the short implementation time of the project versus the amount of information at our disposal, but it should be noted that our main achievement was to carry out and successfully complete this proposal.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
For the elaboration of our proposal, the data provided by NASA and associated agencies were used as a reference point to carry out the investigations that would be implemented throughout the execution of the proposal in question. The data collected allowed associating concepts, making mental maps, synthesis of research, visualization of field work and analysis of the supplied database, influencing 70% of the results obtained, the remaining 30% is due to the execution of programs, implementation of predictive models applicable to our idea, whose purpose is to inform, impact and develop creative, interactive, investigative skills in a sector of the population that will become future professionals who will develop prototypes and provide solutions to challenges like those that are imposed on us today in the SpaceAppsChallenge 2020.

Project Demo
Our project consists of the development of an interactive blog in which you will be able to find different types of information about NASA and Planet Earth.
Within this one of the main attractions is a timeline of the meteorological satellites taken to space by NASA.
Promoting knowledge about NASA you will find a series of trivia and curiosities with which you can study and identify the work done by NASA.
The project is designed to stimulate the curiosity and interest of children and young people in research, therefore within our YouTube channel you can find interactive videos about NASA and our planet of origin in different languages.
