Hello there!

Welcome to another week filled with Raspberry Pi fun. As you can see in today’s Raspberry Pi Weekly, we’ve come across some great projects and tutorials over the last seven days, including Halloween-themed builds and useful tips for getting the most out of your Pi.

And while I have your attention, please join us in congratulating Foundation Trustee Sherry Coutu, Director of Education Carrie Anne Philbin, and Executive Director Clare Sutcliffe for being named among Computer Weekly’s Most Influential Women in UK IT 2017.

See you next week!

Peace,

Alex
