There's a press release from last week on NASA's website publicising the opportunities to participate in the Asteroid Grand Challenge.

This particular release is an announcement about the 10 projects developed with technical partner SpaceGAMBIT, a "US-government funded open-source space program", and the SpaceGAMBIT website describes the ten grand challenge projects.

NASA is counting on Maker communities to be a part of the solution to asteroid threats. In addition to the 10 new projects with SpaceGAMBIT, NASA is offering a variety of other opportunities for Makers around the country to connect directly with NASA. This includes events like the World Maker Faire and opportunities to solve tough problems through NASA Solve -- a program of challenges, prize competitions, and crowdsourcing activities.

The NASA Asteroid initiative page has additional background.
