Identify The Problem?
• NASA Situation:• Baby-boomers remember walking on the moon and remain loyal
• Communication channels were limited and now…
• “Rocketeering” turned to Shuttle and more launches with more missions and scientific experiments.
• NASA Needs:• Help educate specific audiences that are less loyal
• Engage new generations and new interests
• Grow the loyal generations and update them on current missions
• LISTEN… LISTEN… LISTEN…

AARP 2010: SpaceSmart ID/Player Station:Number of Players Per Age Group, By Game
Observations:
• The game play decreases in order as the experience continues. Indicates lack of time or interest to continue through the experience. The feedback from staff members was that it was more of a timing and misunderstand issue than lack of interest.
• Recommend revisiting after other show exposures but in short term adding signage to kiosks.N=648

AARP 2010: SpaceSmart Player Station:Number of Games Each Player Completed
Observations:
• 54% of the players completed one game.
• 45% of the ID responders did not play any games. This was explained that the process was unclear to the attendees. In many cases, these responders would retrieve their badge and think the experience was over. We believe the signage will reduce this confusion.
• 18% and less played two or more games.N=179
