Sustaining Our Planet for Future Generations
Sustaining Our Planet for the Future Generations Website
Summary
Our project is a website that is based, not only on the use of simulators, but also on the collection of data and resources, as well as on the communication of issues that concern the protection of the environment.Our goal is to communicate the importance of caring for the health of our planet through the explanation of these fundamental issues to inspire people of all ages to take action. Likewise, we collect information from the pages of the different space agencies in the world so that people who read this website are able to have quick and practical access to resources of interest.
How We Addressed This Challenge
We have developed a website that contains simulators in order to raise awareness about how our actions can have a great impact on the environment. We also bring out certain problems closely related to the care of our planet and what its solutions and/or to which they are due. Finally, we add resources that may be of interest to people of all ages who want to go into detail about these issues. We believe that it is extremely important to disseminate reliable information and to encourage people to take control of their actions with regard to the environment. In this way, we hope to positively influence people's consciousness and provide them with information in the most interactive and accessible way.
How We Developed This Project
We have chosen this challenge, because we believe that scientific dissemination and communication of these kind of problems that devaste our planet, is essential to get this type of message to all people, regardless of whether or not they are an expert on these issues . We must take care of the health of our planet and stop causing it more harm, so we mainly wanted to focus on transmitting this idea. We do not use any coding language, hardware or software, but our tool to create this page was "Wix". Our team did not face specific problems, but we can emphasize that this challenge provided us with great learning and we were able to achieve our goals in relation to website design, information search and integration to communicate the importance of sustaining our planet so that future generations have a better future and be aware of this.
