Computing at School (CAS) hubs allow educators, developers & industry experts to meet. Raspberry Pi hosted a great first CAS hub at our offices recently.
In the past few years CAS hubs have spread all over the UK and beyond, and are an

Our partnership with Scouts UK is six months old! See what resources we’ve produced, and how we continue to support the Scouts‘ learning of digital skills.

So let’s have a look at the flight hardware shall we?
This December, British ESA Astronaut Tim Peake will be taking two specially augmented Raspberry Pis called Astro Pis to the International Space Station (ISS) as part of his six-month mission. These Astro Pis will be running experimental Python programs written by school-age students; the results will be downloaded back to Earth and made available online…
If the worst should happen, we have the contingency plan of promoting two of the
Children from across Europe can enter the new Astro Pi Challenge for the chance to run their code on the International Space Station.
