Off To The Moon

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

We are helping kids to learn about the outer space, moon and some moon missions by playing games which (unlike others) have no violence and teaches collaboration with others.

We have taken the whole experience of gaming and merged it with the knowledge so that kids can level up only by gaining certain level of knowledge about the subject.Kids will learn about the basis of life and what all we need to survive it. They will also get information about the position, phases and distance of the moon and the knowledge can be tested via the quiz that we designed.

We want to create a product that any parent would love their kids to use. We believe that with proper guidance we can create a great experience for kids to learn while playing.
