NASA - massively multiplayer online (MMO) game request

NASA has issued a request for information for an educational game to

develop Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Skills for

students. NASA requests a 5 page size 12 font document of ideas.

"The US space agency is exploring the possibility of developing a

massively multiplayer online (MMO) game.

The virtual world would be aimed at students and would "simulate real

Nasa engineering and science missions".

The agency has published a "request for information" (RFI) from

organisations interested in developing the platform."

Nasa believe the game would help find the next generation of

scientists and engineers needed to fulfil its "vision for space

exploration".
