This document proposes a project called "Color your Planet" that aims to bring the universe closer by prototyping planets using data from NASA. It suggests creating electronic planetary models that incorporate the characteristic colors and phenomena of real planets/satellites. Participants will design new planetary families, then exhibit and provide feedback on their creations. The goal is to spark curiosity through positive emotions by making planetary prototyping accessible with easy kits using items from stores. Future plans include creating educational kits using local resources and holding workshops for schools and care facilities.

2. The changing earth. It is part of the universe.
Even if we understand it, we feel a little distant

3. Emotion is the common language across
countries and generations
Positive (+)
Negative (-)
It is important to bring out active curiosity from positive
emotions
Happy
Excited
Tender
Scared
Angry
Sad
4. by Prototyping!
Try it and share it with everyone
Bring out Curiosity
&
Bring the universe closer to you
Wow
Lovely
Yay!!!
5. FACT FUN
Use NASA data of planetary
colors and phenomenon
Characteristic color of planets
Astronomical phenomena in the solar
system
Mix of electronic and paper craft
Anyone can imagine and create their own planet
with Color your Planet
Items you can buy at a general store
ex) Target, 100yen Store
6. How to use Color your Planet
Rule:
- Make a new family of planets in the solar system
- Think about the names and features of the new planet
- Let's exhibit!!!
Discovery:
- Is it attractive? Why?
- Is it similar to a real satellite or asteroid?
- Do you like it or not?
7. Planetary shape by
paper craft
(or whatever you want!)
Basic prototype concept
LEDs Micro:bit
Electronic Prototyping
Mix of electronic and paper craft
Use a physical matrix based on NASA planetary photos and
phenomenon data. Each is provided as LED color or Microbit
function.
Once the electronic work is done, make the planetary exterior.
8. FACT = Physical Matrix
Colormind
Use NASA Solar System Exploration data to create your own matrix
ex) Satellite "Enceradus"
The light spills violently
(2) Astronomical phenomena in the solar system
(1) Characteristic color of planets
Color changes due to
vibration, rotation, etc.
11. Future Plan
- Serpentine is mined in Ube City. Make a kit using
serpentine and providing it as a teaching material.
1) Cooperation program with city board of education
and welfare
2) Cooperation with local space-related resources
- Workshop for school,
hospital and care home
using easy educational kits
- Distribution of Physical
Matrix
