Unlocking Secrets of the Space SIG Understanding JEDI Unlocking Secrets of the Space SIG

Categories of Space SIG Members Board of Directors Technical Project Team Conference Planning Team JEDI Council Non-Contributing (we ask that you NOT be in this category) Regardless of category, everybody needs to understand JEDI

Quick Note to Conference Planning Teams Relevance of others will be quickly apparent, but what role do you have in JEDI? Each conference serves a unique role to help technical project teams be effective JEDI cannot exist unless these conferences are successful in empowering the technical project teams ASC – documents team products; provides peer review; provides platform STS – accelerates technical work SPMM – facilitates team planning and management No technical project team = no JEDI

Effectiveness Check Do you know what JEDI is? Do you know what it means to use the FORCE? If you do not understand JEDI, then you cannot be an effective member of the Space SIG

There is a NEED Receiving requests on all sides for youth outreach NSBE 2025 The Links Greek Organizations Public and private school classrooms And more Your time is limited Cannot respond to these requests in a haphazard fashion Also cannot ignore the need

We Already Have a Purpose The Space SIG exists to develop new space technologies To influence the direction of the space programs of the United States To embed space technologies as an institution of the Black community To build networks of African American space professionals We will not put this purpose on hold or interrupt your work to respond to a youth organization’s request for a Black engineer…but we will respond in a way that aligns with our purpose

Jumpstart to Engineering Design and Invention The purpose of JEDI is to establish and maintain a mechanism to leverage Space SIG technical activity in a way that inspires Black youth to pursue careers in the space industry. Particular emphasis is placed on the development of practical, hands-on engineering skills. JEDI is an outreach project intended to provide different services to Black youth based on their academic matriculation, ranging from Kindergarten through Undergraduate as well as to university-level institutions.

Simplistic Overview Space SIG technical projects used as medium for training students in STEM skills Project is subdivided into age-appropriate packages and allocated to Padawans, Enclaves, Initiate Clusters, and Trainee Circles Padawans receive ongoing mentoring and career guidance from Mentors Project used as basis for STEM outreach to groups of Younglings

Levels of JEDI JEDI Council Space SIG Education and Outreach Team Primarily educators Coordinates JEDI and ensures effectiveness JEDI Mentor Space SIG Technical Project Team Member Scientists and Engineers Each project team MUST have FIVE Mentors

Levels of JEDI JEDI Padawan Undergraduate student Apprentice to JEDI Mentor Only ONE Padawan per Mentor JEDI Enclave Padawan’s NSBE chapter and faculty investigator Forms a chapter program in support of the Space SIG Project Team – does not replace the project team

Levels of JEDI JEDI Initiate High school student Organized in 5+ student Initiate Cluster JEDI Trainee Middle school student Organized in 5+ student Trainee Circle JEDI Youngling Elementary school student

What is the F.O.R.C.E.? Focus on Replicating Career Excellence What does this mean? Career Excellence = technical proficiency in spacecraft design, space mission planning, and other space-related processes and technologies Replicating requires the following Technical proficiency must be developed within the Black engineers and scientists who serve on the project teams through team collaborative work That proficiency is then transferred from Mentor to Padawan through guided work assignments

What is the F.O.R.C.E.? More about replication Each project team has a specific set of technical objectives identified in their project plan Both the project team AND the Padawan (and by extension the Enclave) have (different) technical work assignments Each Mentor will assign their Padawan to assist with specific subsets of the project team’s work This work package is structured as a specific engineering development task for the Padawan to complete through their Enclave Example: the Embry-Riddle Enclave has been tasked by the Arusha Cockpit team to determine the field of view needed by the Arusha rover and how to integrate that field of view into the nose of the rover

What is the F.O.R.C.E.? More about replication The Padawan is NOT given the project to take over the work; Mentor must remain engaged It is possible that the student work will not be incorporated into the project Example from NASA NASA X-HAB regularly funds student teams to develop spacecraft habitat mockups or components Rhode Island Space Grant funds Rhode Island School of Design to conduct similar work Resulting student products often do not have adequate functionality or quality and must be modified before they can be used The value is in the educational opportunity for the students, not the delivered product Students DO offer new ways to think about a problem and provide new ideas for solutions, but their implemented solutions may contain flaws (rough draft vs. final) The more the Mentor is engaged with the Padawan, the better the Enclave product is likely to be.

What is the F.O.R.C.E.? More about replication Consider a Padawan’s work assignment analogous to NASA’s NEXT Step BAA for the Deep Space Gateway NASA has six companies developing designs and prototypes for the Deep Space Gateway (NASA’s next space station – orbiting the Moon) Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Orbital ATK, Bigelow Aerospace, Sierra Nevada, and Nanoracks Leverages unique skills or resources within each company The designs will be evaluated by NASA but NASA is not selecting a winner NASA is also developing a government & international reference configuration NASA will decide what to use or not use from BAA submissions and take that as input to develop requirements for the future spacecraft Similarly, project teams will evaluate Padawan work and determine what to incorporate, what to upgrade, and what to leave out

What is the F.O.R.C.E.? More about replication The Mentor must guide the Padawan and evaluate the resulting work prepared by the Padawan and Enclave Mentor and project team will take the submitted work and improve upon it as necessary Example: Arusha Cockpit Driving Visibility Study Student work may vary from perfect to containing any number of errors or flaws in the study or its results Team may disagree with designs, decisions or conclusions Team may need to correct, modify, or even replace work submitted End result is students have gained impressive experience to add to their resumes and project team has gained access to student creativity and perspectives

What is the F.O.R.C.E.? Replication continues beyond the university Each Enclave must form three Initiate Clusters (high school age students) Each Cluster is given a subset of the Enclave’s work package Similar to the project team, the Enclave must mentor the Initiates Enclave assigns a member to mentor each Initiate Cluster Enclave takes Initiate Cluster’s work and improves on it as necessary High school work may contain errors, flaws, imperfections that require correction before it can be incorporated into the Enclave’s work package Risk always exists that Enclave may have to redo Cluster’s work entirely The more engaged the Enclave is with the Cluster, the better the resulting product Again, primary value is on the educational experience for the students (at both levels) Now high school students have also gained experience to include on their college, scholarship, and summer program applications

What is the F.O.R.C.E.? Replication continues beyond the high school level Each Initiate Cluster must form three Trainee Circles (middle school age students) Each Circle is given a subset of the Cluster’s work package Similar to the project team, the Initiates must mentor the Trainees Initiate Cluster assigns a member to mentor each Trainee Circle Initiate Cluster takes Trainee Circle’s work and improves on it as necessary Middle school work may contain errors, flaws, imperfections that require correction before it can be incorporated into the Initiate Cluster’s work package Risk always exists that Initiate Cluster may have to redo Circle’s work entirely The more engaged the Initiate Cluster is with the Circle, the better the resulting product Again, primary value is on the educational experience for the students (both levels) Now middle school students have also gained experience to include on their summer program (and eventually college and scholarship) applications

What is the F.O.R.C.E.? Replication continues even at elementary school ages Each Trainee Circle must conduct Youngling outreach Elementary school students not expected to offer technical contributions Trainee Circles are to organize and conduct at least three outreach events per year to groups of 50 or more elementary age students More events to smaller numbers of students are acceptable – each Trainee Circle must impact 150+ Younglings per year Outreach must be STEM focused and related to the project Outreach must teach a math, science, or engineering principle to the Younglings Outreach should help prepare Younglings for middle school but excite them about STEM careers, specifically space-related careers Show Younglings that they can look forward to being involved in space activity soon Trainee Circles can recruit assistance from Initiates, Enclave, and/or Project Team if available but may not rely on them

What is the F.O.R.C.E.? Let’s not forget to Focus Focus = Focus means 2-5 hours per week dedicated to each Space SIG position Focus means conference attendance: (2 Space SIG conferences / year) Space Project Management Meeting (annual) Space Technology Session (odd-numbered years) Aerospace Systems Conference (even-numbered years) Focus means national dues payment without repeated reminders Focus (technical project team members) means early submission of project team technical paper to Aerospace Systems Conference and creation of conference exhibit Focus (technical project team members) means having and mentoring a Padawan

Using the F.O.R.C.E. Anything times zero = zero The F.O.R.C.E. is a powerful force multiplier But multiplication has a significant weakness: Anything times zero = zero If a mentor loses Focus, the JEDI impact goes to zero If a team is dysfunctional, the JEDI impact goes to zero If there is no team, the JEDI impact goes to zero

If We Use the FORCE, Thousands of Lives are Changed

Five Engineers Can Impact 7075 Students for STEM JEDI mathematical model for STEM impact Each technical project team includes 5+ JEDI Mentors Each Mentor has one Padawan 5 x 1 = 5 Students Each Padawan (5) engages at least 4 other students from their chapter to form an Enclave 5 + 5 x 4 = 25 students

Five Engineers Can Impact 7075 Students for STEM Each Enclave (5) forms 3 Initiate Clusters 25 + (5 x 3) x 5 = 100 students Each Initiate Cluster (15) forms 3 Trainee Circles 100 + (5 x 3) x 3 x 5 = 325 students Each Trainee Circle (45) conducts 3 outreach events to an audience of 50+ Younglings 325 + (5 x 3 x 3) x 3 x 50 = 7075 students

The JEDI Network JEDI allows us to focus our attention on a select handful of students and nurture them into careers in the space program Our Mentors can give their Padawans inside information to apply for internships and jobs with all of the space agencies and companies represented in our membership Our Mentors can give advice in academic, career, professional, or other domains JEDI also allows us to cast a wide net and give our community access points into the space program Younglings can contact Trainees, who contact Initiates, who contact Enclaves, who contact us.

We Will Have to Reorganize Team Size Too many one or two person project teams Teams are too small to be effective Have been asking everyone to recruit a friend We have not done what we need to in order to staff our teams…do more! Project Plans – road maps for each team No project plans were completed at 2017 SPMM Nearly complete with improvements to Arusha Cockpit project plan Will send to all project managers and Chief Technologist – use as pattern Will soon consolidate to teams with viable project plans Recruit NOW!!! Help make your team viable!

Questions/Discussion How does the JEDI Model help our community? Are you ready to use the FORCE?
