Cheyenne Smith has always had an interest in art and a love for science and believes both play a significant part in understanding the universe and world around us. Cheyenne holds a B.A. in communications and is working toward a degree in astronomy. Her love for the cosmos has led her to serve as a Solar System Ambassador for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and chapter coordinator for Science Heads, a non profit located in Orange County, California. In both volunteer positions, Cheyenne aims to encourage and address minorities in the field of astronomy. To help expand on these efforts, she has been working to build a mobile observatory to be featured in neighborhoods locally to share STEAM through astronomy. Cheyenne is an Earthling who loves Paris, faux fur, tea and picnics. Instagram, TikTok: @blackspacegirl Email: cheyenne@blackspacegirl.com The solar system ambassador program also offers exclusive professional development sessions for ambassadors. Cheyenne is also launching her own YouTube channel soon called Black Space Girl, so keep a lookout for that!! Eclipse Ambassador NASA program Announcement for Colleges - April 2022 Undergraduate students are invited to become Eclipse Ambassadors and help prepare their community for a pair of exciting celestial events! Two solar eclipses will soon cross North America - the first an annular solar eclipse on Oct 14, 2023, followed by a total solar eclipse on Apr 8, 2024. College students will be partnered with amateur astronomers and trained as Eclipse Ambassadors to bring NASA science and cultural connections of this natural phenomenon to their communities. Working with libraries and other partners, we hope to reach 500 communities across the country, with emphasis on traditionally underserved audiences. Join us to learn new skills, make connections, and share your love of science with the public! Undergraduates: Please help us better serve future Eclipse Ambassadors.
