NeMO‑Net Girl Scout Patch
NeMO‑Net is a NASA game and citizen science project tied to a Girl Scout patch. Designed for ages 11+ and lasting about one hour, the single-player iPad game asks players to classify coral reef images by painting 2D and 3D pictures of coral. The classifications you make train NASA’s neural network to study coral reef health around the world.
NASA uses your coral drawings to compare with super-detailed 3D images of reefs taken by NASA’s FluidCam, then applies that information to improve satellite and airborne images. That process helps scientists understand coral reef health and changes in oceans at a scale and detail that was never possible before.
The activity lets you dive into real coral reef data, help map the ocean floor, meet the coral reefs inside the NeMO‑Net game, explore ocean reefs, and paint and classify coral.
