Issue #231 - HackSpace

Hi there,

What a week of new releases!

This week saw the launch of the very first issue of HackSpace magazine — the newest publication from the team behind The MagPi that brings all the fun and excitement of making and hacking into one awesome monthly magazine.

We’ve also released volume 3 of our always popular Official Projects Book, collecting some of the very best Raspberry Pi projects into a 200-page tome of amazingness.

And as if that’s not enough, our newest free course on the FutureLearn platform has gone live as well. Looking to start a Code Club? Or simply interested in what a Code Club entails? Check out the Prepare to run a Code Club free online course now!

Have a great week, and we’ll see you next Friday.

Peace,

Alex
