Lucy fan Set

High-Level Project Summary

Our idea is to create a set of cool merch dedicated to Lucy mission. The set is expected to contain postcards, posters, LEGO-set and building instruction to it which should also contain several pages with information about Lucy mission and NASA.We believe that visual content is one of the best ways to popularize and inspire. That's why cool posters are important here. Additionally, it is important not only to provide a model of the satellite, but also to allow one to immerse theirself in the fascinating process of constructing it. Perhaps, having built a LEGO satellite, someone will want to take part in the creation of a real one?

Detailed Project Description

The set is expected to contain postcards, posters, LEGO-set and instruction to it. It would also be cool to add an official Lucy patch! (*Q*) Book with building instruction should also contain several pages with information about Lucy mission and NASA.

We believe that visual content is one of the best ways to popularize and inspire, since the image is imprinted not only in the mind, but also in the subconscious. That's why cool posters are important here.

The set is designed primarily for teens and should not only draw attention to the mission, but also influence the vector of choosing a future profession. And that's why we also need LEGO here. It is important not only to provide a model of the satellite, but also to allow one to immerse theirself in the fascinating process of constructing it. Playing with LEGO develops fine motor skills, spatial reasoning, technical skills and creativity. In Ukraine, LEGO Education sets are very popular in large STEM-schools, and we would really like to see such sets with posters also appear in them.

But, as known, you can play with LEGO from 3 to 99 (and even more), so the final audience is supposed to be much wider :)

Posters with such arts can be placed not only at school, stimulating children's interest in space missions, but also, for example, in a student canteen, as a reminder that science and technology is not only knowledge, but also passion and creativity, or even on a space station to cheer up space explorers. 


To create the LEGO MOC, we used both physical LEGO parts and LEGO Digital Designer program:

Svitopys used Nikon D800, Adobe Photoshop and Action to create arts. Detail are here:

We will continue to work after the hackathon, but after 23:59 all files will be uploaded to the folder "P.S":

Space Agency Data

We used NASA visual content from

https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/search/?chunk=1&release_date_gte=&release_date_lte=&search=lucy&sort_by=relevance

mainly:

https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13352

https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13881

as reference for our LEGO model

Hackathon Journey

This was the first hackathon for all team members.

I can't imagine how we would have been able to cope, if not for Kyiv local organizers, mentors and volunteers...

Many thanks to them for their help!


While Vaqyash (Stas) & Shongoma (Daniil) were working on the model, Svitopys (Sasha) created art from what was in the kitchen :)
