Would you like to change the world through spach outreach and engagement? Spacepoints was created at SpaceUp Houston Unconference in February 2011 by Dennis Bonilla and Tim Bailey. It has crowdsourced the effort to do so.
What is Spacepoints?
The idea is that every time you share the excitement of space exploration to someone outside of the space community you earn points in a virtual database. The true motivation behind spacepoints is that they want people to become more active in promoting space exploration whether it be robotics, planetary science, human spaceflight, etc. Spacepoints seemed,to the developers, like a fun way to offer a platform for engaging and promoting space exploration.
Defining Spacepoints.
In June of 2011, SpaceUp Houston held a workshop to bring the community together in defining what Spacepoints is and is not and how the website and app would work.
The key of Spacepoints is that it is an ever expanding system. Do you have a great idea that can be integrated so people can earn Spacepoints? Share and develop it! Anything is possible. To learn how to be part of the program click here.
By the way, a SpaceUp is a space unconference, where participants decide the topics, schedule, and structure of the event. Unconferences have been held about technology, science, transit, and even cupcakes, but SpaceUps are the first to be focused on space exploration. Everyone who attends SpaceUp is encouraged to give a talk, moderate a panel, or start a discussion. Sessions are proposed and scheduled on the day they're given, which means the usual "hallway conversations" turn into full-fledged topics. Directions for attending or holding a SpaceUp in your area are included on the website.
