Issue #159 - Panoramic

Hey there,

What a week for Raspberry Pi publications. The MagPi 47 hit shelves with an awesome Tim Peake poster and Astro Pi badge, while the Essentials collection gained a new edition with ‘#5: Learn to Code with Scratch’.

If that’s not enough, it’s also been the week of the Zero360, Project Bloks, and Superstar Hannah.

I can’t wait to see what Monday brings…

Peace,

Alex
