Issue #254 - Tricorder
Hello everyone,
This week, issue 5 of Hello World is out, and Astro Pi Mission Space Lab data is in! Check out the Astro Pi Twitter feed for wonderful images of Earth from space, captured by code written by students and run on Raspberry Pis on the International Space Station.
We also discovered Brian Mix’s beautiful tricorder, and saw the Raspberry Pi community in action in lots of different ways.
At the Red Hat Summit in Boston, Massachusetts, girls from Red Hat’s CO.LAB spoke and ran workshops about using Raspberry Pis and camera modules for a poetry project, and twelve-year-old Jam organiser Femi Owolade-Coombes gave a keynote. Raspberry Pi’s Ben, Richard and Mark took the CoderDojo experience to AWS Summit in London. And we rounded out the week on the raspberrypi.org blog with Mayank Sinha’s working prototype home security system, dedicated to the Raspberry Pi community for all their help with the project.
Until next week,
Helen
