The Challenge | 1UP for NASA Earth

Your challenge is to create a new video game that uses NASA Earth data, providing players a novel way to interact and have fun with NASA Earth data. What you create can inform, educate, inspire, or simply provide an enjoyable experience for players – the Earth is your stage!

1 Sphere Up

Our video game gives information about the earth’s spheres, their properties, risks they faces and its causes. Our aim is raising awareness. The user will try to solve the cause of risks. And maybe there will be a hero in the future who will save the earth

Sphere Breakers

We created this video game to increase the awareness ofpeople about the spheres of the earth and the problems that it faces so thepeople will try to decrease from the bad habits that causes the risks of thesphere also we draw our attention to the children from 9 to 17 years so theywill grow with a huge attention to try to solve the problems that are around usand has intention to save the earth. Only 7 people out of 58 know informationabout the 5 spheres of earth and 14 out of 58 don’t know anything about the 5spheres so the unawareness of people about these spheres inspires us to choosethis challenge and increase the awareness of people and try to save the earth.Our video game will solve this challenge by increasing the awareness of peopleof the earth’s spheres, risks and its causes and try to solve these problems.We have register in NASA space apps Cairo but we weren’t from the chosen teamsto join the event because we couldn’t give all the details of our project so wedidn’t give and now we are trying again in the virtual competition and we havelearnt from our faults. So, we have used python as a programming language,illustrator, Photoshop and NASA earth data to generate our video game. We havestarted by the atmosphere as it has the most problems that must be solved andthe people must know about them so we will continue with the other spheres.

Future plans:

Our future plans that we will focus on each layer in eachsphere by details and we will improve the game by collecting the user’srecommendations. We will create another category in the game that everyone canput in it his opinions to solve the problems that faces the spheres so everyonecan see it and that will help the people who wants to work on solving thisproblems. Also, we will develop the game to improve it
