Introduction: Step into the shoes of Margaret Hamilton, one of the pioneering computer scientists and systems engineers behind the Apollo moon landing program, in "Moonbound with Margaret".

Gameplay: Players will experience the challenges and triumphs of Margaret Hamilton's work on the Apollo project, as they navigate the demanding and high-pressure environment of the 1960s NASA space program. Players will learn the history of code used on these programs and make crucial decisions that impact the outcome of the mission.

Features:

  • Immerse yourself in the shoes of the woman who saved the Apollo 11 mission
  • Engaging storyline and interactive gameplay
  • Fun and educational for all ages

Technology: The game was developed using RPG Maker, with Javascript programming for game logic and animations. The game will be available for Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms.

Conclusion: "Moonbound with Margaret" offers players a unique opportunity to experience the lens of a woman who coined the "software engineering" term. It is our hope that players will learn about how Margaret helped contribute to the success of Apollo 11 and evolving the software engineering field, and become inspired to learn more about other important women in STEM and gain the confidence to pursue their own endeavors.
