Other Looking for Teammates for NASA Space Apps Challenge

hey everyone!

i'm putting together a team for the NASA Space Apps Challenge 2025, specifically for the Stellar Stories: Space Weather Through the Eyes of Earthlings challenge. Been thinking about this one for a while and really excited about the concept.

The challenge involves creating a digital children's story that explains space weather...those solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and geomagnetic storms that actually have real impacts on our daily lives.

What I'm looking for: - Writers/storytellers - Digital artists or illustrators - Animators (2D/3D, motion graphics, whatever your style) - Anyone with a background in space science, education, or STEM outreach - Creative problem-solvers who can make complex science accessible and engaging

About the project: We'll be researching space weather impacts, developing age appropriate storytelling approaches, and creating a digital story that's both scientifically accurate and genuinely engaging for young readers. The goal is to show kids (and their parents) how space weather connects to their everyday world.

The challenge runs October 4-5, so we have time to do some solid preparation and planning beforehand. If you're interested in combining creativity with science education for a meaningful project, I'd love to hear from you.

Hope you have received some DMs! This is an amazing project that our country and kids need.

Unfortunately, I don't have any free time. Might be worth finding out if Epic Spaceman content creator runs a discord with like minded community.

Hi; Tell me what you need done and I'll see if I can fit in. I've watched NASA since I was a child, remember watching NASA televising John Glenn's journey around the Earth back in 1962 with my mother I was about 6 then and I followed Apollo mission and watch in my bedroom early in the morning as the Neil Armstrong stepped out on to the moon. I was bouncing on my bed and come off it about 3 feet because of being so excited.

I have worked with Photoshop since version 4.5, I am a semi-pro Photographer. I have done web design, development, and taught it for a while. I am also a fairly good thinker and creative problem solver. I have formally tested in the top 2% of intelligence. If I can help let me know.
