The Aim of the Story

The story of the little girl searching for her unicorn was written with the International Space Apps Challenge's Why We Explore challenge in mind. Participants were asked to find a way to express the answer to the question in the form of a presentation, video or infographic of two minutes or less.

The question "Why?" is asked most often (aloud) by young children. So we aimed to make a story which not only answered the question of why humans explore, but also gave them a way to explore the different types of exploration for themselves. We are working on translating the story into as many languages as possible in order to reach out across the planet with fiction.

The story may be simple, but it aims to inspire a new global generation interested in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) education.
