Then the program must use this data to calculate the speed of the ISS in kilometres per second (km\/s).<\/p>\n<p>Participants for both missions receive certificates with the exact time and date their programs ran in space. Mission Space Lab teams will also receive data captured by programs.<\/p>\n<p>At this session you\u2019ll learn:<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\ude80\u00a0How to run Mission Zero with your students using using our browser-based coding environment<\/p>\n<p>\ud83e\udde9\u00a0How to run Mission Space Lab, including using the online testing tool \u2018Astro Pi Replay\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udf93\u00a0Where to find tips for running engaging sessions and trouble shooting<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the workshop, you\u2019ll be equipped to bring space to your classroom and join a Europe-wide network of teachers inspiring the next generation of digital explorers.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"builder-text-column builder-text-column-4\" id=\"builder-section-text_106-column-4\">\n<div class=\"builder-text-content\">\n<p><strong>10th NOV, 4:00pm CLPL<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"26675\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/digilearn\/events\/event\/csw2025-teacher-cpd-mission-zero-preparing-for-live-lesson\/featured_images_v2-12-4\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/public\/digilearn\/uploads\/sites\/6913\/2025\/10\/24082215\/Featured_Images_V2-12-4.png\" data-orig-size=\"1200,628\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"MissionCLPL_featured\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/public\/digilearn\/uploads\/sites\/6913\/2025\/10\/24082215\/Featured_Images_V2-12-4-300x157.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/public\/digilearn\/uploads\/sites\/6913\/2025\/10\/24082215\/Featured_Images_V2-12-4-1024x536.png\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-26675 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/public\/digilearn\/uploads\/sites\/6913\/2025\/10\/24082215\/Featured_Images_V2-12-4-300x157.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/public\/digilearn\/uploads\/sites\/6913\/2025\/10\/24082215\/Featured_Images_V2-12-4-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/public\/digilearn\/uploads\/sites\/6913\/2025\/10\/24082215\/Featured_Images_V2-12-4-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/public\/digilearn\/uploads\/sites\/6913\/2025\/10\/24082215\/Featured_Images_V2-12-4-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/public\/digilearn\/uploads\/sites\/6913\/2025\/10\/24082215\/Featured_Images_V2-12-4.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"ttfmake-1760963853\" class=\"ttfmake-button\" href=\"https:\/\/events.teams.microsoft.com\/event\/d90f28eb-796b-4bee-a43e-02d13adf1dea@0ef77447-1083-4dec-b89f-27c765076840\" rel=\"noopener\" data-hover-background-color=\"#171717\" data-hover-color=\"#ffffff\"><i class=\"ttfmake-button-icon fa fa-chalkboard-teacher\"><\/i>\u00a0Register Here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>This session is ideal for teachers who have classes taking part in the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/digilearn\/events\/event\/csw2025-mission-zero-live-lesson\/\">Mission Zero live lesson on 14th November<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Astro Pi Mission Zero, an ESA and national ESEROs project run in collaboration with the Raspberry Pi Foundation, gives young people the chance to write Python code to create a personalised pixel art image for the astronauts to see.
