Game 7 Recruiter Terms of Service

Selene Recruiter Terms of Service

NASA believes games can prepare people with just the right knowledge to be successful at learning, but it needs to conduct research to see if this is true. The Selene game introduces players ages 13-18 to concepts about the moon’s geology. Researchers will track players’ gameplay to study how the Selene game helps players to learn about the geology of the moon.
