Best way to keep track of briefings is through the #EuropaClipper Blog, and the images on the multimedia page, but JPL also has a handy press kit to explain all the details:

Spotted amongst all the press briefings - a cool cardboard model of #EuropaClipper that you can cut out and build. My kids are going to love this: https://europa.nasa.gov/resources/298/europa-clipper-paper-model/
