The Challenge | Show the World the Data!

NASA’s open data sources hold an abundance of imagery. Mapping that imagery to a digital globe makes the data interactive and may enable people to discover relationships among ecosystem phenomena. Your challenge is to develop a digital globe web-app that visualizes Earth science data using NASA’s Web WorldWind.

EducationGo

We take the advantage of the Worldwind platform, provided by Nasa, to help creating pedagogical environment convenient for learning. Just like a game, students are able to learn while playing, collecting points and exchange them with valuable awards.

EdGo

EdGo is a mobile and web-based platform that uses World Wind SDK in order to make the educational process funny and interesting.

Using the concept of Gamification _to apply game elements and mechanisms out of the game context_ we create motivating and interesting learning experience for any kind of education. Not only for teachers, but for everyone who is related to the process of education.

Gamification consists of two parts activities and rewarding system. Using our modified version of World Wind, EdGo changes the traditional way of learning into an interesting game. Now students can play a game, but in the background they are actually digesting the educational concepts tended to be delivered.

What teachers can do:

-Make quizzes and assessments and hide it somewhere on earth!

-Get motivated for such an effort by gaining meaningful point that translated then into useful possessions.

-Use other tools that help them manage their classrooms easily and effectively.

For students:

-Use their current tools in order to navigate and mine for questions and pieces of information.

-Answer them and gain useful points.

-Share their progress with their fellows.

-Having fun with their learning experience.
