Want to send your code to space? Join us for an live online Mission Zero workshop and be part of the European Astro Pi Challenge! 🚀
This is your chance to write a simple Python program that will run on one of the Astro Pi computers aboard the International Space Station (ISS). In this free, beginner-friendly online event, you’ll learn how to create a personalised pixel art image for the astronauts to see. You’ll use the Astro Pi’s light sensor to adjust the colours of your unique design, all with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions.
There’s no special equipment or prior coding experience needed—just a computer with an internet connection. By the end of the workshop, students will have submitted their programs and every eligible participant will receive a certificate showing the exact location of the ISS when their code ran in space!
Teachers: To ensure your students get their certificates, please register for Astro Pi Mission Zero here. You will be issued with a “classroom code” which your students will need to submit their programs during the live lesson.
Certificates will be distributed to registered teachers in June 2026.
