Issue #299 - Scratch that technology itch

This week’s Raspberry Pi Weekly has melted due to an extreme heatwave here in Cambridge. We all have melted. I’m typing this even though I am nothing more than a puddle on the ground.

Eeep!

While we’re on the topic of Cambridge, have you ever wanted to live like a Cambridge University student? Now is your chance! A handful of tickets are still available for Scratch Conference Europe, and we have secured a small number of rooms for participants to book at Churchill College. Stay within the college’s historical grounds for a weekend and live out your Cambridge University student dreams. Thanks to our sponsor EPAM for helping us make the conference happen!

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

Peace,

Alex
