Issue #205 - CoderDojo

At a Coolest Projects event, wo girls show off the digital making projects they've coded.

Hello there,

This week saw the announcement of a very special relationship: in a merger that will increase the opportunities for young people everywhere to get involved in computing, the Raspberry Pi Foundation has joined forces with the awesome CoderDojo Foundation.

We’re very excited!

Adding to our mountain of wonderful, we also released the second issue of Hello World, our free magazine for educators, and issue 58 of The MagPi Magazine.

And as if that’s not enough, this Raspberry Pi Weekly is jam-packed full of articles and wonderful projects to keep you busy this holiday weekend (or just weekend, depending on where you are in the world).

So have a great time and we’ll see you next Friday!

Peace,

Alex
