Here is your task:

Transform to Open Science (TOPS) was part of NASA’s Open-Source Science Initiative which is making a long-term commitment to create a scientific culture that is ready for 21st century challenges. In prior used we used the Open Science 101 course as onboarding material but in 2025 this was removed from the public.

This is where open source matters; the course was originally released under and open Creative Commons license, and we had forked the repo when it existed. So we gave it new life by taking the original materials, extending them and repurposing for our needs.

The curriculum is available on Open Science 101
