RAMIM
An Interactive Digital Story About Space Equipment
A web experience that helps children explore the stories behind equipment left on the Moon and Mars.
The Challenge
Space equipment left behind has stories worth exploring.
Rovers, landers and science stations have stayed on the Moon and Mars for decades. Each one is a physical record of a mission — and, for a child, an open mystery.
What children ask
What was this equipment designed to do?
How did it support its mission?
What can its different parts tell us?
What did scientists discover through it?
