Globe Guardians Educational Game
I'm thrilled to announce that Globe Guardians has been selected as a global nominee for the NASA Space Apps Challenge 2024!
Globe Guardians is an educational platform designed to gamify environmental science learning by integrating NASA's GLOBE protocols into an interactive, student-centered experience.
This project addresses the challenge of teaching complex environmental concepts to middle school students by leveraging a blend of digital and physical activities, creating an engaging, immersive learning environment. Players explore ecosystems such as the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and pedosphere, answering AI-generated questions based on real-time GLOBE data. The combination of digital quizzes and hands-on tasks ensures practical application of the knowledge gained, with activities validated by teachers.
Through a tiered ranking system (local, regional, and national), students are incentivized to participate in both individual and group challenges, promoting collaboration and sustained engagement.
This innovative approach not only makes environmental science education accessible and enjoyable but also prepares students to think critically and act on real-world environmental issues.
