Galactic Growth

High-Level Project Summary

We developed an educational board game to show people the risks of space travels and how are going to be prevented and create safety conditions during them. It is important because in this way we hope to reach as many people as possible and teach them something they probably don’t know, giving them quality information and possibly raising their interest about those thematic

Space Agency Data

For our project we used NASA data (https://humanresearchroadmap.nasa.gov/risks/) to evaluate the risks that could occur during a space journey and possibly the related solutions taken from scientific studies belonging to NASA (https://genelab-data.ndc.nasa.gov/genelab/projects/)

Hackathon Journey

Initially undecided about which Challenge to undertake, we came to the conclusion of creating something engaging that could convey something educational at the same time. The solution that seemed most feasible to us was to create a board game with the aim of knowing most of the dynamics to be faced during a space journey. Among the things learned during this event, the collaboration between colleagues in dividing the tasks to be performed and getting involved in dealing with the impediments that have arisen stand out. Thanks to the organizers of this event who allowed us to get to know and above all to rediscover that nothing can stop the will to participate in something that seemed to be bigger than us.
