Description

How can understanding and engagement be increased in broad audiences in the processes involved in space missions? Together with ESA we are designing a playful method to create awareness about the challenges that a space mission encounters.

Hit the asteroid!

Tuesday 9 February, we had a tinkering workshop. Tinkering is a nice way of prototyping with many different tools. We worked with littleBits, this platform consists electronic modules that snap together with magnets. We created a prototype which represents our project: the space challenge. The idea is that you try to hit the Didymoon asteroid which is twirling around Didymos. You can make this process as hard or easy as you want, depending on the speed level. It is a fun way of gaming and tells the story of the AIM-project.
