Issue #139 - Educators

Hi all

There’s a new Raspbian release – read all about it on the link below, and do check out the documentation for the latest GPIO Zero release. If you have access to a 3D printer, you can now 3D print your own Astro Pi flight case, just like the (space grade aluminium) ones Tim Peake has aboard the Space Station.

Some great projects and articles this week! I hope you find them useful and informative.
