The NASA Psyche mission's program to engage university undergraduates and the public in the mission is inspired by and built upon the extensive foundation of public engagement, educational outreach activities, and expertise of NASA and mission partner institutions. The program leverages the enthusiasm and contributions of undergraduates nationwide to the benefit of the mission, the students and their institutions and communities, and the broader public. Psyche Student Collaborations consists of four main programs, two (Psyche Capstone and Psyche Inspired) are available solely to undergraduates enrolled at universities or community colleges in the United States and its territories and two (Innovation Toolkit free online courses and Science Outreach Interns and Docents) invite broader participation by engaging the talents and creativity of undergraduate interns to help create content and events to reach the public and lifelong learners. Together, these offerings provide multiple entry points and a spectrum of intensity of experiences, numbers of participants, disciplinary diversity, and mode of delivery. Involving undergraduates in all phases of the program supports the development of the next generation of explorers, contributes to the nation's workforce preparation, and complements NASA's existing undergraduate offerings by providing long-term opportunities for students to participate with the mission through established postsecondary education structures like capstone courses.
美国国家航空航天局（NASA）的“普赛克”任务让大学生和公众参与该任务的计划，其灵感来源于NASA及任务合作伙伴机构在公众参与、教育推广活动和专业知识方面的广泛基础，并在此基础上构建而成。该计划利用了全国大学生的热情和贡献，以造福于任务本身、学生及其所在机构和社区，以及更广泛的公众。“普赛克”学生合作项目包括四个主要计划，其中两个（“普赛克”顶点项目和“普赛克”启发项目）仅面向在美国及其属地的大学或社区学院就读的本科生，另外两个（创新工具包免费在线课程以及科学推广实习生和讲解员项目）通过吸引本科实习生的才能和创造力，邀请更广泛的参与，以帮助创建面向公众和终身学习者的内容及活动。这些项目共同提供了多个切入点以及一系列不同强度的体验、参与者数量、学科多样性和交付方式。让本科生参与项目的各个阶段，有助于培养下一代探索者，为国家劳动力培养做出贡献，并通过像顶点课程这样的高等教育既定结构，为学生提供长期参与任务的机会，从而补充NASA现有的本科生项目。
