We’re participating in the European Space Agency’s 2023-24 Astro Pi Challenge! In this session, we will learn to code a program that takes a colour and luminosity reading on the International Space Station (ISS), and use it to make a customized message for the astronauts on board! Our programs will be run in actual space! At the end of the challenge, we will receive a certificate showing where the ISS was when the program ran.
