Issue #177 - Spinach

Spinach Mine Detection

Hello there,

It’s been a great week here at Raspberry Pi. Picademy Glasgow was a massive hit, with more Raspberry Pi Certified Educators now ready to take on the world. In-house, we had a visit from Simone Giertz, YouTube star, Queen of ‘questionable’ robots and Tested team member. We ate sickeningly sweet Chelsea buns, explored Cambridge University (spoiler: it all looks like Hogwarts) and talked about the charity work of the Raspberry Pi Foundation.

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

Peace.

Alex
