SOLAR EXPLORER
For Kids
At the beginning of the adventure, there will be an option to opt into a “Children’s Experience”. This will be an aspect that runs parallel to the original story. Its goal is to not only educate children about space and planets, but to encourage their engagement with the outside physical world. On every planet there will be an activity which teaches a unique life skill that anyone can do from their home! For example, in the Children's Experience on Mars, after helping Mayor Old Man Marvin wrangle his cattle, he will give you a journal filled with easy ideas on how to farm plants indoors!

Research has shown that being on screens for too long causes fatigue, eye strain, and sleep disturbances, among other negative side effects, so throughout our game are crafting tutorials fit for any age! Here is a short gallery sampling the types of projects.
