I really like the idea of generally broadening the community, an expanding into areas such as artist interpretations. Two great ideas here. There are indeed a lot of systems in place out there that could help this bloom into even a much bigger concept than simply STEM, but publication on the whole.
This also would breed a space for idea generation that I think @tarazkp once proposed. Related, another great idea in these comments was rather than having it built to publish already-done work, it could help build the proposal and track the progress with commentary and methodological improvements.
So you're totally right, a lot of stepping stones are between me and the end result! Worth it though, I think
