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.

Interactive Space App

Summary

This will give information about the solar system , its the visual representation of the solar system and planets. Our mascott will ride you through system and will provide the information about the solar system and planets to kids and elders.

How We Addressed This Challenge

We developed App to provide the information about solar system.

This App will be very helpful for kids, we tried to make it interesting and to grab kids attention.

We can simply install this app on kids tab, detailed information about solar system and planets will help to increase kids interest in Space domain.

Our little mascott will ride through the information and we tried to make it as interesting as much as.

As this is web based app, there is no need of installation. Parents can simply bookmark the website and kids should be able to browse through easily.

We develop this app , so that should be very easy to handle people with less technology knowledge, our main target audience are kids and elder who has very limited knowledge about computer/mobiles.

This website will definitely increase the kids interest in Space domain.

How We Developed This Project

We used python flask web framework. For application development used "Scratch" Programming .

For images used google custom search API.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

As we wanted to make this fun ,we used scratch programming language to build the tool and to achieve functionality
