HelloMoon

THE CHALLENGE: Book it to the Moon
Solar System

Develop an interactive app for children that uses smart phone and tablet sensory to locate the Moon (any time of the day, even below horizon), which unlocks current lunar data (phase, distance, etc), and then presents the user options for reading a "Moon" related story, view space agency photos and videos, and/or fun facts about the Moon. The goal of this challenge is edutainment and raising awareness about lunar missions around the world.

Explanation

The goal of our app is to find the moon by moving your phone. If you have found the moon, the app will show basic informations about the moon e.g. the current distance and the moon phase. Furthermore it will give you the possibilities to read more about the moon, e.g. quotes, facts, information about the apollo missions. Finally there is a little movie about a fictive flight to the moon.

Maybe we can increase children's interest in the moon and space travel.
