The LITE METHOD

High-Level Project Summary

We have developed a method called "LITE" that allows non-scientists to understand the scientific information of NASA and its partners in order to increase their interestin scientific facts.

Detailed Project Description

Our project here is to propose a method that allows NASA and its partners to make everyone understand the scientific research they carry out. so far, we haven't used programming languages.


The LITE method is an acronym that takes into account: specific adaptive language, adaptive illustration, interaction, time and empathy.

The lite method is used in any area of content presentation, as it is an approach to make it easier to explain and communicate scientific topics.

How do you tell people who are hungry to look at the stars?

This is one of our biggest dilemmas.

We all know how to present scientific information or not, in this case it is just a matter of opening your mouth or writing and flowing a well organized sentence, often "on instinct" or more or less elaborated according to a well defined approach and this is a terrible mistake. The role of an approach or a method is not only to make pretty an information on its form but to captivate, to maintain the interest of the audience and if necessary to leave in the heart of the recipient a trace of the past information. 

It allows :

To explain the information through the languages of the target and its cultures 

Prioritize an interaction between targets and scientists 

Maximize the information in a short time 

Reach the targets to convey the information.


We hope that NASA and its partners will adopt it as an educational approach in the process of learning and presenting the web content of the publications, and

to set up an AI based on this method capable of creating content.

Hackathon Journey

The space apps was an incredible and very rewarding event.

 It taught us that scientific subjects are very important and that we should have an interest in them, regardless of our level of education. 

What pushed our team to choose this challenge is the lack of interest of people to read scientific articles. Our goal is to propose a new method or process to improve the scientific publications of NASA and its partners. We have implemented the method named: LITE.

LITE is an acronym, according to our approach. It corresponds to the attributes that a learning process must have to be effective in terms of scientific fact.

A LITE objective is therefore specific language (adapted to its audience), illustration (personalized examples and appropriate illustrative visuals), interaction (stimulating interaction process), time (within a given time frame) and empathy (persuasive and attainable method and approach).

We thank NASA and its partners for the opportunity and information provided.
