Issue #234 - 2000

Happy Friday,

From Pi-based snowmen to twinkly lights, this week is certainly a week for community projects — make sure to check out our selection below.

We’ve also been celebrating the CoderDojo Foundation team’s announcement of 2000 registered Dojos! And we heard a wonderful story from a Code Club in Nottinghamshire that is working hard to support blind students in using Scratch.

Have a great week, make wonderful things, and we’ll see you next Friday!

Peace,

Alex
