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.

Summary

NASA’s activities added new knowledge of the Earth and space, inspiring new ways of thinking about humanity, robots and the planet. so the problem is that many people aren’t aware that NASA studies the Earth in addition to other planets So, in order to solve it We will create a website that will provide us with information about NASA space, achievement, competitions and history in a simple and interactive way.

How We Addressed This Challenge

 

We have taken many steps to implement the idea; 

 the first and most important one of them (Research), we have done a lot of research on the history of NASA, how it originated, when it was established, its past and current achievements, the competitions it carries out, its most important invention, its geographical location, and other information; in order to make our site comprehensive for all the details, which does not prevent the user from searching in lots of  sites. 

In order to achieve our target  

First, we learned about the types of websites, what makes them entertaining and useful, how people are attracted to them?, about the types of viewers, and what each of them likes and tried to put them all in our site. 

Second, We collected a lot of videos, photos, and anecdotes about NASA 

We put together videos that explain the current and future achievements of NASA, as well as explain the history of NASA and all this in order to provide the user with all the information from the beginning of the formation of NASA and how it emerged up  to this day.                                                                                  

As, This will help those who do not like to read to enjoy knowing all the details of NASA by watching the small videos. 

 

And we also put a lot of pictures that show the achievements of NASA on our planet, such as artificial limbs, screwdrivers, filter filters, and other inventions that help us in our daily life. 

Which confirms that NASA is not only interested in studying space, but also interested in studying the earth, and that its study of space helps us to develop and invent other projects on the ground. 

And a lot of stories and histories so that we can make those who love reading enjoy reading the history of Nice with its finer details and not having to open more than one website.

How We Developed This Project

There were a lot of previous solutions here, as there are many sites on the Internet that talk about the history of NASA, but the problem here is that the designers of those sites focus on one thing while designing. 

Among them are those who focus reading lover, so they put lots of words, without putting any videos or photos  so, they do not put in their consider that there are those who do not like reading, this will not enjoy the site, also that the lack of pictures or videos in the site makes the reader feel bored, and this is what some other designers fall into.  Because of that we have develop our website by uploading pictures and a lot of videos in order to make those who do not like reading enjoy the history of NASA and its latest news as well. 

also we decided to put the projects of NASA to show that NASA think of humanity and the creativity of youth.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

we benefit from it by collecting data about the history of NASA
