Creating a Fun Educational Experience using "Ingress"

Collect and develop geotagged information about local ties to space and aviation to incorporate within geo-based games/web applications/tools. Many apps and programs exist that allow users to input information about a location that corresponds to the real world. Public information and historical space events could be added to the location within the program. While exploring a new region, users can learning new facts about how the community played a role in new scientific discoveries or innovations in aviation or spaceflight.

Using the Ingress App already available on Iphone and Android platforms, descriptions have been added to Geolocations of space history.

An educational mission was also created to have guests of the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex travel from waypoint to waypoint, exhibits in the Rocket Garden, and answer space trivia questions. The answers for the questions are found on the KSC signage.
