Space Odyssey

Hermosillo | Turning STEM into STEAM

Space Odyssey.

High-Level Project Summary

The purpose of this project is to solve the issue given by NASA “Turning STEM into STEAM” meanwhile promoting diversity and inclusivity, by using art as a learning tool. Space Odyssey contains valuable information and accessible options for kids from low income backgrounds. The main goal is to bring simple and alternative education to groups of minorities, through skill development and scientific learning. For us, any kid should have the opportunity to learn about space, no matter where you are or if you have access to the internet or electronics devices. In order to accomplish a place where STEM and creativity can flourish without restrictions towards peoples education.

Detailed Project Description

SPACE ODYSSEY

Space Odyssey is an interactive magazine where creativity, art, and education can flourish without restrictions towards people's education.

It includes scientific information from NASA and topics that will catch kids' attention. To improve the learning process, each topic will have an activity. To take advantage of the technology, our project will have educational games, links to creative videos, and songs. We are aware that not all the kids have the opportunity to use the internet, or even have electronics devices, so we provide printable options, creating a way to learn without boundaries available for everyone.

By entering our website, you will find our magazine, links to some videos, educational games, or printing material all about space topics.

Our content includes topics from the NASA journey, planets, satellites and so much more, all created to be the kid´s first approach to space topics, and if they get interested in, they could get more information from the NASA website, or even sign up to incoming projects.

Space Agency Data

Our information/data was derived from NASA'S websites where our inspiration was mostly driven from. The topics mentioned in our magazine are current and factual, this way we assured our data displayed was not wrong nor fake. As well as how we got inspired by certain articles to design each magazine page, based solely on outer space and everything in its orbit.

Hackathon Journey

Our experience with Space Apps was extraordinary, since it made us bring the best of us to be able to work as a team, including values such as solidarity to promote good coexistence at work, in addition to learning about space and NASA and knowing how to diffuse knowledge to children to make it eye-catching for them. What inspired our team to choose this challenge is that it has the purpose of promoting diversity and inclusivity while integrating art in the STEM field. And our focus in the development of the project was to design an interactive scientific magazine called Space Odyssey, which contains digestible information and accessible options for children from low-income communities.

We develop the setbacks and challenges in such a way that everyone will have a part of the project, so that everyone knows what the journal is about and also has their contribution in it, making it faster to develop it in less time than expected.

Someone we would like to thank is the teachers and mentors who led us to achieve this project, NASA, the people who participated in the event, our co-workers and the organizers of this event.
