NCAS: NASA Community College Aerospace Scholars (Round 2)

PROBLEM STATEMENT:

How might we design a low-cost high-reward moon mission while uniting student STEM workers with mentors and job opportunities?

SOLUTIONS:

Design a moon mission and a non-profit organization that supports STEM students to find mentors and work opportunities needed to accomplish the moon mission.

DESCRIPTION:

The Lunar Olympics is an independent case-study in response to my design brief from the Virtual On-site Activity for NASA Community College Aerospace Scholars (NCAS). I approached the research and design from a UX/UI perspective to create a mission plan that would yield a high science return while also aligning with NASA’s stated goals and brand. To expand the usability of the mission, I designed something that would work outside the scope of the educational simulation but inside the realm of possibility. This case-study is a collection of the NCAS game simulation with a research proposal final project built in.

SPACE APPS CHALLENGE: 2 Day Challenge Oct 2-4 2021

Problem Statement:

How might we improve the mission logs of astronauts so that the global science community can collaborate in real-time?

SOLUTION:

With a public iNSPACE account, you can freely search, comment, and share public space data that interests you.

• As a STEM student, you can access mentors, white papers, or other scientific knowledge.

• As a subject matter expert, you can become a mentor and change the world.
