Issue #245 - Big
Hey there
This week we’ve been continuing our sixth birthday celebrations with the community-run Raspberry Jam Big Birthday Weekend. You knocked it out of the park: Jams happened on every continent except Antactica, and partygoers of all ages built robots, played party games, hacked Minecraft, created wearables, and enjoyed a lot of cake. Track the celebrations on Twitter using the #PiParty hashtag.
We’ve also seen some awesome projects this week, such as this impressive LED cube and this barcode scanner that reads out the name of your groceries.
Here at Pi Towers we’re looking for people to join the team and for volunteers to help us translate and test our learning resources, so be sure to check out our latest openings.
And, as always, have a great week.
Peace,
Alex
