Send Your Code to Space with Astro Pi: Mission Zero!

March Break Program

VIRTUAL

Astro Pi: Mission Zero is a non-competitive challenge for young people aged 14 and under, where kids will write computer code that will be sent to the International Space Station (ISS)! During this beginner-friendly mission, students will work on their own, or in teams, if they prefer, to write a simple program in Python using free online tools, like the Astro Pi emulator. The projects will add to the daily routine onboard the ISS by displaying a personal message and image on the Astro Pi, and measuring the relative humidity.

KCJ’s facilitators will guide students to accomplish this mission. Programs that are successfully submitted and meet the requirements are guaranteed to run in space! Each student who submits code will receive an electronic certificate recording the exact location, start and end time of their program’s run on the ISS — a personal piece of space science history to keep!  Program hosted by Kids Code Jeunesse (KCJ).  For kids ages 8 to 12 years old.

Registrants will receive an e-mail 24 hours before the start of the program with an invitation to join.
