The Luminosity Lab

The Vanderploeg Luminosity Scholarship program is now accepting applications for students interested in engaging in applied learning opportunities while pursuing their undergraduate degree at ASU. Apply now at the link in our bio! #ASU #Scholarship #Research #Arizona

Luminosity is in San Diego, California this week for the ASU + GSV Summit presenting on the Classroom of the Future and the Interplanetary Initiative Lab projects! @asugsvsummit #asugsvsummit

These ideation sketches take initial ideas to the next level by allowing the team to visualize concepts in space and further explore form and feasibility. Concepts designed by Ian Barr.

Some of our talented design students spent the last semester helping bring to life concepts for a moonshot project aimed at bridging the gaps in medical testing and care for individuals in rural communities.

Prizes for the winning teams included 3D printers, Sphero coding robots, and Raspberry Pi 4 kits. We are incredibly impressed by the level of talent and innovation displayed by these students, and we cannot wait to hear from students again next year! ✨💡

Students were asked to pitch a solution that addresses the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #2: Zero Hunger.

During our EXPO we had the pleasure of hearing from 5 fantastic Arizona high school teams during the Illuminate Finals. Illuminate is a high school innovation competition built to provide high school students with the opportunity to solve some of the world’s most complex problems

Welcome to the exciting world of the #Rodel Simulator, a groundbreaking new modeling platform that is poised to revolutionize the way we make decisions.

Day 2 of #ASUGSVSummit2023 is a wrap. There were a lot of great things to see and learn, including some creative edible printing and an impressive creation by the @LuminosityLab at @ASU. Thanks to Computer Science major Elizabeth Arnold for the lesson. 1/2

Brinlee Kidd, a member of the Luminosity Lab team and founder of jotted.club, recently gave a @TEDx talk on the importance of questioning in education. It is a must-see for anyone interested in improving the educational experience for students. youtube.com/watch?v=bSUYIf…

Remember Charlotte, our unique six-legged lunar rover with two sets of legs. Watch the video to see Charlotte cruising through the Arizona terrain during testing! 🌵 🎥 🕷️ instagram.com/reel/CpN7oL3p0…

We are thrilled to have had Ambassador Sandhu visit us and look forward to continuing our partnerships with India to advance knowledge and innovation!

🇮🇳 🇺🇸 His Excellency @SandhuTaranjitS, India's Ambassador to the United States, recently visited the Luminosity Lab to meet the students and explore the Rodel, our cutting-edge simulation designed to assist policymakers in making informed decisions about Arizona and beyond.

🌟 Tune in as Mark Naufel and Victor Oleynik share their personal stories of turning fears into motivators, their immigrant backgrounds, and the birth of Luminosity Lab in the latest episode of Golden Conversations. youtu.be/bnppi0Zy4Oo

🎈 🇺🇸 The balloon is American-made, so there is no reason to alert the Pentagon if you see it at one of the future events! 👀

Exciting news! Our Guardian Balloon system made a big impression at the @WMPhoenixOpen and @axon_us HQ last week. Developed in partnership with Axon, this innovative balloon technology provides additional camera coverage on the ground and in the air.

Over the last two weeks, scholars from the Vanderploeg Luminosity Scholarship program learned the basics of building 3D models in Solidworks, one of the industry’s standard CAD modeling softwares 💻👨‍💻 instagram.com/p/CoOQwLhP-oT/…

Get a glimpse into the command center of the Guardian Balloon system 🎈After a string of successful launches, it's making its way to the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Keep an eye out and snap a pic if you see it! Don't forget to tag us on Instagram. instagram.com/reel/CoDrM96gN…

@OberlinJackie @NASA @NatGeo Hi there! Charlotte is actually an acronym for Crater Hydrogen And Regolith Laboratory for Observation on Technical Terrain Environments 😊

@LuminosityLab @NASA @NatGeo My little girl’s name! Wondering if there is any meaning behind it for the robot?

Introducing Charlotte - our 6-legged lunar robot built for @NASA's BIG Idea challenge to explore the permanently shadowed regions of the lunar south pole 🚀 This incredible photo captured by @NatGeo is completely unedited and untouched.
