/R E P E A T -- Media Advisory - David Saint-Jacques launches a challenge for young Canadians to code for space!/


VANCOUVER, Jan. 30, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - Tomorrow, Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut David Saint-Jacques, during a space-to-Earth connection with his colleague Joshua Kutryk, will launch the Astro Pi challenge for young Canadians.

In collaboration with the European Space Agency and Kids Code Jeunesse, the CSA is allowing young Canadians to participate in the Astro Pi challenge, an annual science and coding competition where students have the opportunity to develop code that could be run on the International Space Station's unique Raspberry Pi computers, called Astro Pis.

Media representatives who cannot attend the Launch of the Astro Pi challenge event can see it live (or watch the video afterwards) on the CSA's YouTube channel.

In the afternoon, Joshua Kutryk will be meeting with over 60 Grade 10 students at the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre to talk about his experience as an astronaut. Media representatives are invited to attend the presentation.
