Issue #157 - Commander
Hi all,
Ben has flown off to Ireland for CoderDojo Coolest Projects today, leaving me in charge of this week’s Raspberry Pi Weekly.
Top story at Pi Towers this week has been our own Eben Upton, CEO of Raspberry Pi Trading and pioneer of the Pi, named CBE on the Queen’s Birthday Honours list!
Educators who have participated in our free training, Picademy, have been completing our 2016 Raspberry Pi Certified Educators survey. If you’ve been to a Picademy, please take the survey to help us build better support for educators.
Have a wonderful week and if you’re good, next week I’ll let you have Ben back.
Peace,
Alex
P.S. Be sure to follow the official Pi Towers plant, Bert, on Twitter.
