Moonhack 2016

Up to 10,000 Australian kids today take part in Moonhack, a live and online coding event that is using the July 20 anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing as the inspiration for a series of exercises. I was lucky enough to design the Mission Patch for the event and CodeClub Australia.

The goal is to set a world record for the most children coding at once.

UPDATE: Last week, NASA reached out to Code Club Australia after learning of the group's Moonhack event on social media. The organisations have now agreed that NASA will help promote the initiative through its channels, record a video message to be sent to the participating students and potentially offer a group of six "exceptional" kids the chance to see Canberra's Deep Space Communication Complex.
