Issue #158 - Coolest

Hi there

Raspberry Pi Weekly is now 3 years old! The first issue was sent out on 21 June 2013, and here we are, 157 Fridays later.

This week the Education Team took Picademy to Edge Hill, a University in North West England. Educators can register their interest in attending Picademy in Scotland.
