Tynker continues its collaboration with NASA for the second Moon 2 Mars project based on NASA space missions — the Tell Your Lunar Gateway Story coding challenge! Just in time for World Space Week, this challenge asks students to imagine and share what life aboard the Lunar Gateway may look like. As part of NASA’s plan to return humans to the moon, Artemis astronauts will orbit the moon on the Lunar Gateway in the near future as they conduct research and prepare for lunar surface exploration. Winners of this coding challenge will be selected by Tynker and NASA. They will have the opportunity to invite a NASA expert to speak with their class or school via video call! Open to students everywhere.
