Abstract :
In order to develop a call to action for a learning tool that would work to best teach Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM), the NASA Goddard team will partner with the inventor of Bop It! , an interactive game of verbs and following instructions; and Global Imagination, the developers of Magic Planet. In this paper, Decision-making Occupations Health! (DOH!) will be described as a game derived from the basic functions necessary for Bop lt!, a familiar game, that will ask the educational audience to respond to changing commands to Bop It!, Twist It!, and Squeeze It! The novelty of this new version of the game, will be that the Earth will be making these commands from Dynamic Planet, and the crowd assembled can play wirelessly.
