Join us for an Astro Pi Mission Space Lab livestream to find out how you can take part this year. Don’t miss this chance to help young minds write computer programs to solve a scientific task in space 💫 The webinar will guide you through everything you need to know to get started – from registering to important updates. Eligible programs will be deployed on the International Space Station, and teams will receive certificates and the data collected. Find out how you can be a part of it: 📅 Date: 21 November 📍 Where: rpf.io/msl-webinar 🕒 Time: 16:30 GMT #STEMeducation #Mentorship #AstroPi 📷 NASA

See it and you can be it 💫 Today, we're joining Royal Academy of Engineering in celebrating #NationalEngineeringDay. The theme this year is #EngineeringRoleModels. Our Apprentice Software Engineer, HJ Kang, shares her inspiration for the team. “Their commitment to collaboration, efficiency, and prevision is something I want to learn from”. Shout out to HJ's team, Chris Elsworth, Christina Voss, Divya Mahadevan, Päivi Suomela, Patrick Cherry, and all the other software engineers and product managers here. Who are your engineering role models? Do they know it? Tag them below to let them know you’re inspired 👇 Check out "ThisisEngineering" on other social channels for more inspirational content today 🫶

Looking for a fun coding activity for your kids? In this project, they will train a machine learning model to recognise voice commands ‘up’, ‘down’, ‘left’, and ‘right’, and use them to control a fish in a fun game 🐠 🪸 Get started: rpf.io/fish-food #LearnToCode #CodingForKids #Coding #AI #ML #Scratch

Exciting update for Code Editor users! We’ve expanded the Python libraries available in the Code Editor, giving learners access to more tools for their projects 🐍 💻 They can now explore a variety of libraries, including pandas, matplotlib and numpy. This update allows users to discover new subject areas like data science and get more creative with code. For example, with matplotlib, they can easily plot data on a map (e.g., major cities) to bring their projects to life! 📍🗺️ Try it out with your learners and let us know what you think. 🔗 rpf.io/editor-education #RPFEditor #Python #CodingForKids #Coding
