New this year: Learn to Code with NASA
Microsoft Imagine and NASA have partnered to bring the Imagine Cup Earth Global Student Contest to the world. The Contest is aimed at inspiring the next generation of thinkers, dreamers and future programmers to learn the basics of coding and explore the latest science about our precious home.
Every year, millions of students worldwide participate in Microsoft Imagine’s student-coding programmes. These range from young students using our free coding kits to code their first project in half an hour, to college students using our free Microsoft Azure student subscription to develop for the cloud.
NASA brings an impressive array of content and data in the service of their earth-science mission to use the vantage point of space to increase our understanding of our home planet, improve lives and safeguard our future.
Students aged 6-18 are invited to enter the Imagine Cup Earth Global Student Contest, where participants will explore this exciting and vital area of scientific research. Regardless of your current coding abilities, students of all skill levels are welcome to dream big, build creatively and boldly bring ideas to life.
