This week’s topic is all about technology. We’ve learnt how to write in HTML to create a webpage and we’ve then styled it using a programming language called CSS.
We’ve then been launching and programming our own Raspberry Pi which is a tiny computer that can be plugged into a monitor and controlled by a mouse and keyboard.
We had to work together to build our computer and this required quite a bit of problem-solving.
Finally, we had our computers made and ready to programme.
All that we had left was tackling the tricky language of Python to programme a message for Tim Peake to send home from the ISS on Christmas Day.
Tim is actually taking two Raspberry Pi into space so we also looked at how ‘sensor hats’ can collect data in space for us to compare to conditions down here on Earth.
