Issue #243 - qrocodile

Hello there,

It’s been a week for cool builds, as highlighted on the Raspberry Pi blog. And they’re a great distraction from the heartbreak at Pi Towers, as we watch Dave Honess, leader of the Astro Pi programme here at Pi Towers, pack up his desk and head off to his new job at the European Space Agency. We’re not jealous at all. Honestly. So enjoy some semi-factual #SpaceDaveFacts alongside the rest of this week’s Raspberry Pi Weekly.

And keep in mind that we’re currently looking for people to join us, including a Chief Learning Officer, an Evaluation Analyst, a Production Manager, and a Node Web Developer. Could you be the newest Pi Towers team member?

Catch you next week!

Peace,

Alex
