Issue #244 - Six

It’s our party and we’ll Pi if we want to — so join us across the globe as we celebrate our sixth birthday! Find your nearest Raspberry Jam and join in with the #PiParty tag on Twitter to get involved.

This week has also seen our announcement of two new online courses: Scratch to Python: Moving from Block- to Text-based Programming and Build a Makerspace for Young People. If you’ve signed up already, then thank you. And in case you haven’t yet, the courses are free, so be sure to give them a go!

Have a great weekend and an awesome week, and we’ll see you next Friday for more Raspberry Pi goodness!

Peace,

Alex
