PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This project proposes a web-based game designed to enhance public engagement with NASA’s Psyche mission. While traditional outreach methods such as articles, journals, videos, and social media posts are valuable, they can fall short in capturing the prolonged interest of younger audiences. To address the gap, this game integrates educational content with entertaining minigames, making the mission’s scientific goals and challenges more accessible and exciting to learn about. By blending education and entertainment, this initiative supports NASA’s outreach objectives while fostering the curiosity of the next generation of scientists, engineers, and space explorers.
