A One Health Approach

Air pollution is a major global environmental health risk, causing an estimated seven million deaths across the globe annually. Your challenge is to take an interdisciplinary approach, using both Earth science and health science, and integrate different types of datasets and applications to study the effects of air pollution.

NO AIR

Summary

Our project is a simulation game that makes children aware of how to build a city in a sustainable way and avoid air pollution .

How We Addressed This Challenge

Through the game that simulates the construction and development of a city, children would learn that there are sustainable ways to create their own reality. Whenever the player wants to add a new element, he will be warned with real data provided by NASA, about the consequences of developing in an unsustainable way.

That way, we would be impacting children's education and providing access to quality information while having fun. In addition, parents can invest in our platform in order to contribute to their child's development and learning through artifacts that boost and add advantages to the player.

How We Developed This Project

Our goal was search the cause of the climate and pollution problems and we found that eliminating misinformation about the environment through bringing children closer to nasa data, would solve this problem.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

The data was used to inform the players the consequences of building and developing the city in a unsustainable way.
