Issue #211 - OctaPi
Hi all,
This week has seen the release of two new resources of ours that you can use to build your own OctaPi cluster computer! And if that’s not enough to fill your week, below we’ve also collected some awesome projects by community members for you to make.
If you’re a multilinguist and/or keen to help us create some new content, make sure to team up with CoderDojo on 15 July for their Content Hackathon. And if you’re still stuck for things to do until next Friday, explore our social media accounts for inspiration.
Have a great week and we’ll see you soon!
Peace,
Alex
