Advanced Scale Model
(Paper/Card/Augmented Reality)
Build your own Parker Solar Probe! This 1/30-scale paper model is easy to download and assemble (with a few readily available tools). Printing on and working with cardstock or heavier paper gives you the “feel” of assembling the real thing – and that’s why architects still consider paper modeling to be a basic yet essential skill.

NASA Space Apps Challenge
The NASA International Space Apps Challenge (or Space Apps) is an international hackathon that takes place over a 48-hour period in cities around the globe in October. The events embraces collaborative problem-solving with the goal of producing open-source solutions to challenges we currently face on Earth and in space. When mission data is available, the Parker Solar Probe outreach team will work with the NASA Space Apps team to design a challenge that encourages users to explore PSP data and its connection to the space science fleet of spacecraft.

STEM outreach professionals look for sources of scientifically accurate information to update their knowledge and the information they share with their learners. With access to NASA/APL subject-matter experts and content, they will be able to incorporate the information learned into their outreach activities and programs. ISTE’s reach includes a variety of channels. Their membership is more than 20,000, their annual conferences in June have about 25,000 attendees and their social media channels have more than 280,000 followers. The PSP outreach team is working with the ISTE team to showcase a new program called the Indigenous Makerplace Network at the ISTE2023 Conference in June 2023!

Voice Atlas
Conversational AI is an important industry trend that allows humans to interact with computers, devices, information, and data using natural language versus traditional search engines and keyword searches. This project will implement an AI/NLP solution, Voice Atlas, with the Applied Physics Laboratory Parker Solar Probe project’s public-facing website and public communications on multiple platforms, including voice-enabled devices. Conversational AI and smart Q/A systems can increase engagement and diversity by allowing equitable and inclusive access to information anytime, anywhere, and from any device. Automated Q/A can reduce the stigmatism around asking questions that non-scientists may feel and contribute to Open Science goals by providing direct access to information 24/7.

The Indigenous MakerPlace Network
The Indigenous Education Institute (IEI) was created in 1995 as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) institution with a mission to preserve, protect and apply traditional Indigenous knowledge in a contemporary setting. Their work is centered on the task of helping young native people find their own sense of self-identity and self-esteem in the world today, based on a firm foundation of thousands of years of cultural knowledge. IEI will work closely with the PSP outreach team to design four Indigenous-based makerplaces with an emphasis on heliophysics and the PSP mission. Participants from each makerplace will share their experiences with the larger community by participating in a MakerPlace Speaker Series (live and prerecorded). Each Makerplace will be deeply rooted in its community’s historical STEM and cultural knowledge.
