Astro Pi 2023

Astro Pi 2023 Challenge coming soon.

What is Astro Pi?

The European Astro Pi Challenge offers young people the amazing opportunity to conduct scientific investigations in space by writing computer programs that run on Raspberry Pi computers aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

2023 challenge opens mid September.

Please see website for details.

Note: As I run the STEM group, and we are a bring you own projects event, then I am happy for this to be a safe place to meet up and work on projects. However:-

  • If you are working on Mission Zero you will need a PARENT / GUARDIAN to help you.
  • If you are undertaking Mission Space Lab you will need a MENTOR to help you.

Astro Pi & Moonhack

AstroPi

Giving young people the chance to run their computer programs in space

Another opportunity for people to write some code that will be run on the International Space station. Again something that can be undertaken at Code Club or STEM Group

Moonhack

Moonhack is a free international event bringing kids from across the world together for a week of coding!

Suitable for kids ages 8-15, it’s a free, easy and hands-on way to get coding, no matter where you are.

Over the past 6 years, more than 150,000 kids have coded as part of Moonhack.

Moonhack will take place during world space week in 4th to 10th October 2022.
