✨🎈 Happy 10th Birthday, @Astro_Pi! 🎂✨
🚀 A decade ago, two special Raspberry Pi computers were launched to the International Space Station, and since then young people have been sending their code into space! 👩🚀
👩💻 Each year, the European Astro Pi Challenge engages tens of icipants, contributing to an impressive total of more than 160,000 students since 2015.
This anniversary marks a full decade of young people programming in space, and the adventure is only getting bigger. 🎉
Read the full story of this incredible space journey and discover how Astro Pi continues to empower learners through real-world space science. 💫

The team had a brilliant time running workshops to celebrate 10 years since Tim Peake CMG's 2015 Principia mission and 10 years of the Astro Pi Challenge. A decade later and we’re still empowering the next generation of space explorers 👉 astro-pi.org
What a fantastic day @sciencemuseum answering lots of your questions in the new Space Gallery, dropping into the Live Lessons and the Wonderlab, seeing your great work coding with @Raspberry_Pi AstroPi and catching up with the @airbus_space rover team.
It was a great way to get day’s live lesson. Join me virtually from 10.20 am tomorrow.
