\"\"<\/p>\n

The Raspberry Pi Foundation has announced that children from all over Europe now have the chance to have their code projects run on the International Space Station. Astronaut\u00a0Thomas Pesquet<\/a>\u00a0will be in charge of the\u00a0new mission which will see him fly up to the ISS and activate the code. The new competition is\u00a0open to teams with children aged 16 and under from all ESA member states<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is how your team can take part:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Assemble your mission team, which must include at least one support teacher as well as students under the age of 16.<\/li>\n
  2. Use the Mission Plan Template<\/a> to design a sample mission that showcases your approach to running a space mission, and demonstrates that you can break down your big idea into specific steps. Note that you don\u2019t need to address the challenge at this stage. Submit your mission plan and register your participation<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. If you\u2019re picked to continue to the next phase, you will\u00a0receive an Astro Pi kit and a mission challenge designed by Thomas Pesquet to test your team\u2019s ingenuity and skills.<\/li>\n
  4. If your solutions are picked, then your code will be beamed up to the ISS, installed on the Astro Pi units, and run by Thomas Pesquet.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You have until 1st November to submit your team’s project.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    For more information, including how to submit your project, please visit the Raspberry Pi website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
