We’re participating in the European Space Agency’s Astro Pi Challenge! Learn to code a simple program that takes a humidity reading on the International Space Station. Then, customize it with a personalized message for the astronauts on board. The programs of participants aged 14 and younger will actually be run in space! At the end, receive a certificate showing where exactly the ISS was when your program ran.
Preparation: The coding can be done in a web browser. To participate, you will need a computer with an internet connection (not a tablet or mobile device).
Expert: Chimira Andres works for the European Space Agency. She completed a M.Sc. in Geophysics and Planetary Science at Western University and is also the President of SEDS Canada, a not-for-profit student space organization.
