Issue #171 - Attend

Oh, hi there,

There’s so many opportunities to ‘get your Pi on’ over the next few months. From a Pi Towers Raspberry Jam, to Matt Richardson visiting Micro Center, to Astro Pi and more, things seem to be getting really social in the community of late. It’s got so busy that I decided to turn this week’s feature image into a direct link to our Raspberry Jam page. If you want to get together with like-minded makers and tinkerers, the Jam is the place to be. And if you don’t have one available near you, why not consider starting your own?

Continuing the theme of togetherness, Code Club are currently dancing around the office, celebrating 300 clubs in Scotland. Yass!

Topping off the Raspberry Pi Weekly with some fun project builds, such as the talkiepi walkie-talkie and air drum kit, you’ve enough to get stuck into over the weekend.

Have a great time and I’ll see you next Friday.

Peace,

Alex
