Issue #252 - Haven

Chris Aviles Innovation Lab Raspberry Pi Certified Educator

Happy Friday, one and all, and welcome to this week’s Raspberry Pi Weekly.

This week, we celebrated 1.2 million Raspberry Pi Zeros and Zero Ws shipped worldwide, and we’ve loved hearing how you’ve been using yours.

We’ve also been learning about your wonderful projects, such as teacher Chris Aviles’s Innovation Lab in New Jersey, where students are using the Raspberry Pi Oracle Weather Station to tackle the effects of climate change in their town.

To finish the week, we’re celebrating Coolest Projects UK in London on Saturday. It’s the first time this fantastic showcase of young digital making has come to the UK, and you can follow all the excitement using the #CoolestProjects tag on Twitter.

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

Peace,

Alex
