How do we engage the public with a 50+ year mission? Scientists face challenges in effectively interacting with the public [1-4], along with the ever-changing nature of such a long-duration mission and updating of results. The Interstellar Probe initiative may benefit from an education and public engagement team for the purpose of professional development for scientists, exploring different tools for engagement, and outreach opportunities for a wide swath of communication. Some examples of such public engagement can follow the resources and engagement as that from the Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI), Impact Earth, the Toolbox for Research and Exploration (TREX), and even previous mission initiatives and engagement with the public, such as the Cassini mission [4-7]. This abstract simply outlines the different types of public engagement that the Interstellar Probe could potentially develop and eventually undertake. Specifically, there are 4 main themes to explore: Public, Visual, Audio, and Research. Inclusivity should also be a factor on how to better engage the public through a multi-year mission
