Issue #230 - Blue

Happy Friday, everybody!

This week, we finally announced our first Brazillian Approved Reseller, and with it Brazil’s own blue Raspberry Pi 3.

Members of the team behind the Raspberry Pi met with the Royal Academy of Engineering for a Q&A following their MacRobert Award win earlier this year.

And we have a new video for you on YouTube about our physical computing blocks, which we premiered at this year’s Maker Faire New York.

If that’s not enough for you, you can also take a look at some of the week’s best projects, which we picked for you to try your hand at over the weekend.

Have a great week, and we’ll see you again next Friday.

Peace,

Alex
