Content Creation

DSPACE is designed as an extensible platform where community members can create and contribute various types of content:

Create Custom Quests - Design educational missions that teach space-related skills. When you're ready to share your work, follow the Quest Contribution Guidelines and the Quest Submission Guide to submit it for review.
Develop Custom Items - Create virtual resources, tools, and components
Design Custom Processes - Build activities that transform or utilize items

Our Content Development Guide provides a comprehensive overview of all content creation options, workflows, and best practices. We also offer Quest Prompts, Item Prompts, and Process Prompts for those looking to leverage AI tools in their content creation process.
