The Moon is calling. ⬜
We are partnering with Minecraft to bring the #Artemis missions to players all over the world. Read more about the partnership: go.nasa.gov/3Zq0emL

Part of the Orion spacecraft is visible on the left side of the image. The darkest spot visible near the middle of the Moon is Mare Orientale.

Understanding how computer science is applied in the world is a crucial part of learning code. That's the importance of this year's #HourOfCode theme, #CSForGood. Using #MinecraftEdu, students explore the basics of code and AI as they fight wildfires.

Hey @ahsimlibrarian - any recommendations for what to do with old science textbooks from the 80's? Recycle, donate, firewood...?
