Issue #146 - Bit

Hi everyone

This week the Foundation released the first of its suite of micro:bit learning resources using MicroPython on the Pi to control the device. There’s also a new picamera guide.

Be sure to check out The Magpi #44 and read up on Mythic Beasts hosting the Raspberry Pi website on Pi 3s.
