Issue #182 - Training

Hello there!

Did you get up to anything for Hour of Code this week? We had a great time here at Pi Towers, introducing people both young and old to Scratch, Minecraft, the Camera Module, animation, and much more. It was a wonderful experience to watch people write their first line of code and to see their face light up as they made their sprite move across the screen.

We also launched our new online training series this week, offering two free online CPD training courses, available anywhere in the world.

If this isn’t enough, we also published our Raspberry Pi Christmas List for 2016, offering up some of our suggestions for what to buy this festive season. And if you still want more seasonal fun, why not spend this weekend 3D-printing Raspberry Pi and Code Club decorations for your home, office, or school?

Remember, if you make any festive Raspberry Pi projects this month, share them across social media with the hashtag #BerryXmas. And if you still haven’t registered your interest in Pioneers, what are you waiting for? Go do it now!

Have a great week.

Peace

Alex
