THE CONTRACTOR WILL MODERNIZE AND RESTRUCTURE THE ASTROPY WORKSHOP NOTEBOOK LIBRARY BY CATEGORIZING EXISTING TUTORIALS INTO A THREE-TIER PROFICIENCY FRAMEWORK CONSISTING OF NOVICE, INTERMEDIATE, AND ADVANCED LEVELS. TO IMPROVE THE EXPERIENCE FOR SELF-GUIDED AND ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNERS, THE CONTRACTOR WILL AUGMENT NOTEBOOK NARRATIVES WITH THOROUGH CODE ANNOTATIONS, PROFICIENCY-MAPPED LINKS TO OFFICIAL DOCUMENTATION, AND CROSS-REFERENCES TO THE BROADER ASTROPY ECOSYSTEM. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTRACTOR WILL DEVELOP MODULAR, "SHORT-FORM" TUTORIALS FOR 2–3 KEY MODULES, SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO FIT WITHIN ONE-HOUR PRESENTATION SLOTS TO ADDRESS PREVIOUS FEEDBACK REGARDING SESSION LENGTH AND WORKSHOP FATIGUE. FOLLOWING THE CURRICULUM UPDATES, THE CONTRACTOR WILL FACILITATE TWO REMOTE WORKSHOP EVENTS SCHEDULED AT STAGGERED INTERVALS TO MAXIMIZE ACCESSIBILITY ACROSS VARIOUS TIME ZONES. THE CONTRACTOR WILL DELIVER THESE SESSIONS IN TWO FORMATS: STANDARD SIXTY-MINUTE MODULES FOR CORE TOPICS AND INTENSIVE TWO-HOUR SESSIONS FOR ADVANCED-TIER TUTORIALS. THROUGH THESE EFFORTS, THE CONTRACTOR WILL PROVIDE A MORE NAVIGABLE, FLEXIBLE, AND COMPREHENSIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR THE GLOBAL ASTROPY COMMUNITY.
WE NOTE THAT ONGOING SUPPORT FOR A MISSION"S DATABASE ONCE IT IS INGESTED IS SUPPORTED BY MAST"S ONGOING NASA FUNDING AND NEED NOT BE FUNDED BY THE INDIVIDUAL MISSION. ONCE ARTEMIS" DATABASE IS SET UP AND POPULATED, ITS BUDGETARY OBLIGATIONS TO MAST END.
