Their idea is to use a camera attached to a Raspberry Pi to measure light pollution over the cities that the ISS travels past. If their project is accepted their code will be run in space and the results returned back to them. The digital leaders then intend to analyse the data and to see if there is a link between light pollution and levels of sleep deprivation in those cities. ![](https://durhamjohnston.org.uk/images/news/January_2019/20190123_154437.jpg) ![](https://durhamjohnston.org.uk/images/news/January_2019/20190123_154408.jpg) **Mr Garside, Computing Department** - [ previous](https://durhamjohnston.org.uk/news/2019-01-23-computing-st-margaret-s) - [next ](https://durhamjohnston.org.uk/news/2019-01-30-online-safety-february-newsletter) #### News & Events - [Latest News](https://durhamjohnston.org.uk/news) - [Extra-Curricular Activities](https://durhamjohnston.org.uk/news-2/extra-curricular-activities) - [Parents Evening Dates](https://durhamjohnston.org.uk/news-2/parents-evening-dates-and-times) ![Durham Johnston School](https://durhamjohnston.org.uk/images/logo/logo2.png) ### Contact Us **Durham Johnston School** Crossgate Moor Durham DH1 4SU (0191) 384 3887 ### Useful Links - [Policies](https://durhamjohnston.org.uk/about/policies) - [Information for Parents](https://durhamjohnston.org.uk/about/information) - [Latest News](https://durhamjohnston.org.uk/news) - [Governors](https://durhamjohnston.org.uk/about/governors) - [Data Protection & Privacy](https://durhamjohnston.org.uk/data-protection) ### Social Media [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/durhamjohnstoncomprehensive/) © Copyright 2018–2026 Durham Johnston School.
