SpaceCat: Send a Message to Outer Space!

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.

Our solution aims to create an engaging experience of sending a message to any planet of the solar system through an app game, where players will learn about spaceflights across solar system, face some challenges and of course, leave a "footprint" on space in the form of message.

The mechanics are basic, type your message, select your destiny and launch your message to the space!

During the spaceflight you will be challenged with different situations like, fix spaceship parts, avoid obstacles, correct trajectory,... that can be solved by answering some questions, playing minigames, coding some algorithm, etc

As long as you solve this challenges, the mission remains stable, and if not, the travel time is increased based on your performance.

You also be informed of interesting events that occurs during the mission, like flight near planet or asteroids, where you be presented with different information, images, videos, articles from NASA open APIs.

Once you arrive to your destiny you will see your message landed on the surface between the other messages that could also be landed before you, and you'll be ranked compared to other similar missions.
