Astro Pi challenge ecsite
Send your programme into space!
Astro Pi is an international educational challenge from the European Space Agency and the Raspberry Pi Foundation. It provides students with the opportunity to carry out a science project on board the International Space Station using microcomputers prepared for educational purposes.
Participating in the Astro Pi – Space Laboratory Mission challenge, students write code in Python3 that will use the sensors of the Astro Pi kits and count the speed of the International Space Station’s movement with as much precision as possible.
And by taking part in the Astro Pi – Mission Zero challenge, students, working in small teams, have the opportunity to write their first code, learn the basics of Python programming and let their imagination run wild when creating pixel art graphics.
