Sustaining Our Planet for Future Generations
ANIMA CUBE: Technology and entertainment encouraging new generations to serve our planet
Summary
The development of technology has allowed the human being to communicate, to interact and has access to the information immediately, however, with its emergence, there is more consumption, access and waste devices are being generated that operate from non-renewable energy sources. This shows us that although it has brought us benefits, it also had a negative impact on the environment, since we still need to communicate a sustainable project with the ability of showing future generations a path to the impact that our actions would generate on the planet if it developed sustainable mechanisms.
How We Addressed This Challenge
A platform and application model with audiovisual content was developed to creatively communicate the importance of protecting our planet through comics. For this purpose, each user will have access to the application to choose different challenges in an interactive way that will motivate him/her to take actions for the sustainable development objectives proposed by the United Nations, where the user will receive a virtual discount voucher for each objective met. It is hoped that the generation of centennials will be able to access transformative information that will invite them to take action to build a sustainable and livable planet over time.
How We Developed This Project
Our challenge is inspired by a user archetype that belongs to the centennial generation and requires new media that no longer involve long and tedious readings, but audiovisual and interactive access to information. This will allow us to communicate to future generations a clear and entertaining proposal about sustainable development objectives that can make the planet a livable and sustainable place in the future. To present the model of the platform we use HTML5 JAVA SCRIPT codes. The definitions would be based on the analysis and convergence of open satellite data, open source, research and data banks, statistics and integration with Big Data, where mass data is analyzed.
We managed to integrate a multidisciplinary team that met in the project and integrated their knowledge in marketing, philosophy, computer engineering and mechatronics to develop an application model oriented to the sustainability of the planet according to the sustainable development objectives proposed by the United Nations. Another of our strengths was to have deeply identified a target audience, their ages, tastes, vision and motivation.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
This project is based on data that was stolen from the space agency NASA and documents related to climate change and the sustainability of the planet.
Studies of the effects that environmental pollution has generated, show that since 1880 the temperature of the planet has increased by 1.11 °C. and the hottest years in history have been recorded since 2001. Consequently, sea ice has reduced by 12.85% per decade. Satellite data from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center show that polar ice is losing about 427 gigatons of mass per year and they estimate that by 2100 this could increase by 50%.
