Issue #241 - Candle

Happy Friday to you all!

Are you attending a Raspberry Jam during our Big Birthday Weekend? Find your local event here, and be sure to share the excitement on social media using #RJam.

On Tuesday, we all eagerly watched a car being launched into space, and this week also marked another out-of-this-world celebration: the 10th anniversary of the Columbus module. And what better way to celebrate than to blow out a candle on our very own Astro Pi unit!

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

Peace,

Alex
