Matteo KimuraIdea Planning
We have decided to go about solving the isolation problem by creating a collaborative space trivia app!
This app will use API's to gather space images and generate quizzes for users to take. Users will then be paired up with someone else and they can chat (in the app) and work together to answer the questions.
We believe this helps people practice communication and group living which are 2 tips astronaut Anne McClain has found to be useful for living in confined spaces over a long period of time. As a result, it can help people currently living in isolation.
We also think that this will increase interest in space by promoting learning about space and its fascinating landmarks, concepts, etc.
