TURNING STEM INTO STEAM

High-Level Project Summary

First of all, we wanted to make our project about an up-to-date topic. So we searched NASA's website and found the topic we were looking for: Growing Plants In Space. After getting all the information we need, we tried to come up with new ideas. We decided to make a showroom that anybody can notice, and with that, we aim to inform people about this recent NASA project.

Detailed Project Description

In this showroom there will be a lot of plants, we will light the room with purple and magenta pink lights for it to look more realistic and eye-catching. People can go inside and explore the room. Also, outside the room, there will be information banners so they can read and understand the project.

Hackathon Journey

With this Space Apps Challenge, we experienced a new difficulty. While we tried to solve it, our imagination was stimulated. We learned new things about space and NASA's projects.

Turning STEM into STEAM

A goal of open science is to make scientific information available to all, and original and innovative approaches can be helpful to effectively communicate scientific information to people with different cultural, socioeconomic, and ethnic backgrounds. Your challenge is to develop a creative method that uses the arts to share and explain the design, process, and/or scientific results from a NASA or partner space agency research project to your audience—i.e., develop an approach that combines science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math (STEAM).
