Issue #218 - Nerf

Michael Darby nerf gun

Hello there,

Sonic Pi projects have arrived at Code Club, and we’re itching to get musical. Are you in?

We’ve also seen some great builds from the community this week, so make sure you check them out – including the Raspberry Pi-powered Nerf blaster that we all want to own!

Have a great week, and if you’re in England, Wales, or Northern Ireland, enjoy your Bank Holiday Monday.

See you next Friday!

Peace,

Alex
