The Psyche mission is based in a search for knowledge, to understand more about our Earth, our solar system, and the Universe. If scientists are right, we’ll be able to get a glimpse of the Earth’s inner workings unlike we’ve ever seen before. Educating ourselves and pursuing new knowledge is incredibly important - never stop exploring and never stop asking questions. Patagonia and Psyche share the same values. They care about people, the planet and both strive for a better world everyday. Be it through the advancement of knowledge or the efforts here on earth to better the lives of millions. Together we can excite the public about this mission, engender curiosity, and tie both stars above us to the earth below us.Our campaign is titled “Education through Exploration”, and we hope it engenders curiosity in everyone. This campaign includes a variety of different assets including huge banners for marketing ,a mini documentary about why we choose Patagonia, and a clothing line to excite the public about the Psyche mission. With the Patagonia + Psyche collaboration we wanted to release a Psyche inspired clothing line to help promote the mission. Some of Patagonia’s top selling items would be released in limited edition Psyche colors and a portion of the proceeds would help support STEM education. We hope that buying these products would help educate the importance of space and earth exploration and STEM education and research. Concern that results from outdoor recreation can lead to increased involvement in environmental issues.

In arid environments such as Arizona, agricultural producers are burdened by constraints placed on them by inhospitable weather and limited access to water and fertile soil when attempting to grow produce. Farms in the arid Southwest often have to build greenhouses to overcome such constraints; however, such greenhouses may be relatively space, water, and pesticide intensive and often have demanding maintenance needs and overhead costs. In addition, many current agricultural practices exhaust land resources disparagingly, leading to irreversible environmental degradation. In an effort to improve agricultural production for those limited by weather and resource constraints while simultaneously increasing sustainability in land, resource and pesticide use, we have created Valleyponics, a hydroponic growth services company centered around creating a minimal farming footprint. The company uses a consultative services approach, leveraging NASA Veggie Growth System Technology to provide solutions to large businesses by automating their agricultural production processes and minimizing resource use year-round. Valleyponics aims to cultivate consultative partnerships which will allow our clients, their communities, and the environment to flourish.
