iPhone & iPad Apps for Space Education


Space exploration may seem a nostalgic part of our past, but the truth is it’s going to play an important part of our future. As you read this, there are several incredible pieces of technology that are roaming through space and researching other planets, helping us to understand more and more about the universe in which we live.

Curiosity, the Mars Rover, is currently traveling across the surface of Mars, using its many instruments to test the rocks and materials of the surface to help us understand more about the history of the ‘Red Planet’. The aim of Curiosity is to find out whether Mars once was (and perhaps, still is) home to alien life. Should Curiosity succeed in its mission a question that has plagued us for centuries will finally be answered; we will finally know that we are not alone in the universe.

Apps for Space Education for The Next Gen

It almost impossible to conceive the impact this will discovery will have on the human race, but more and more scientists are confirming that they think it is unlikely that we are alone. The discovery of life on Mars would no doubt reignite the human fascination with our universe, and it would inspire the next generation to re-launch efforts in space exploration.

Children are already fascinated by technology, and they have access to both incredible hardware and software. This has created a generation of children that are eager to learn and most importantly, eager to explore space education.
