The “Run your code in space with the European Astro Pi Challenge” is an educational project by the ESA (European Space Agency) in collaboration with the Raspberry Pi Foundation. It provides young people with the amazing opportunity to conduct scientific research in space by writing computer programs that run on Raspberry Pi computers aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The challenge has two levels of complexity: Mission Zero: Suitable for beginners and school-aged children. Teams write a simple Python program to take a reading using the color sensor on one of the ISS’s Astro Pi computers and display a custom pixel art image for the astronauts on board. Mission Space Lab: For more advanced coders, where teams write programs to solve a specific scientific challenge, such as measuring as accurately as possible the speed at which the ISS travels. Participants receive a personalized certificate showing the exact time their program ran and the position of the ISS during that time. It’s a unique opportunity for young people to get involved in programming and space science in a very hands-on and exciting way. 😊
