Image Description - "Become a Local Lead" at the top left on a dark blue background. A quote from a former NASA Space Apps Local Lead is displayed on the left center of the image that reads "Mentors and volunteers conducted short data orientations on the first evening, walking teams through the available NASA resources. These hands-on demos transformed initial hesitation into curiosity. Participants began to realize that the same datasets used by NASA scientists were open for them to query, visualize, and interpretate." The Space Apps logo is at the bottom left. The right-hand side of the image shows two former Space Apps Challenge participants posing for a photo.
