My favorite project is the primary project that I am working on called NASA@work, an Agency-wide program. I develop and facilitate the NASA@work Challenges by connecting people to solutions through crowdsourcing.
To prepare a new challenge, I collaborate with different program and project teams, such as Orion, International Space Station, the Human Research Program and JSC Engineering and help them run their challenges on the NASA@work platform to reach over 16,000 NASA@work community members. The result—innovative solutions to problems and challenges.
The Odor Control and Trash Containment Challenge for the Orion Program is a cool example of a challenge that has had a positive impact. This challenge captured a potential solution that could enable substantial mass/volume savings. It was pretty amazing to see how people looked at the problem differently. For example, instead of having two containers for containment, why not have one?
