Young Engineers Send Astro Pi Code to the International Space Station @Raspberry_Pi #PiDay #RaspberryPi

Once again, the European Astro Pi Challenge is helping young coders get their work out into space! Here’s more from the Raspberry Pi Foundation:

Young people taking part in the European Astro Pi Challenge are about to have their computer programs sent to the International Space Station (ISS). Astro Pi is run annually in collaboration by us and ESA Education, and offers two ways to get involved: Mission Zero and Mission Space Lab.

Mission Zero is an exciting activity for kids with little or no experience with coding. We invite young people to create a Python program that displays an 8×8 pixel image or animation. This program then gets sent to the ISS, and each pixel art piece is displayed for 30 seconds on the LED matrix display of the Astro Pi computers on the ISS.
