Issue #362 - In which we remember Star Wars is a thing

game cube painted to look like R2D2

Howdy,

When we saw this R2D2-themed retro games console, we were reminded of a whole host of Star Wars maker projects, so we shared them with our favourite people. You’re our favourite people.

We also learnt the difference between a glockenspiel and a xylophone, met a drone masquerading as a NASA Mars helicopter, and read about how to become a Raspberry Pi genius in the new issue of The MagPi Magazine.

If you happen to be a TinyML developer then the good people at arm would really like to hear from you in their survey, and they’re going to share the results, which will be super interesting. Make sure you scroll right on down to the bottom for that.

What. A. Week.

Peace.
