Featured project
Hubble Star Cards is a personal project that turned into a physical product. The award-winning card set includes 60 cards showing off spectacular images from the Hubble Space Telescope. The cards in the game, designed for kids from 10 to 100, are divided into categories, such as nebula, galaxy, planet and star cluster. The cards educate readers on these objects and simple games can be played, such as Go Fish, Sorting, or War. The game won an award from the IGES/NASA for Best Use of Hubble Imagery as well as an Independent Publishing Award (IPPY) for best children’s interactive.
