Issue #186 - Laugh

Make Us Laugh Pioneers

Hey there!

What do you call a dinosaur with no eyes? A Doyouthinkhesawus!

Okay, so that joke was awful, I’ll admit it. And with the launch of the first Pioneers theme, we’re hoping that our awesome participants will do a better job at making us laugh. If you’ve yet to hear about Pioneers, or haven’t heard about the latest theme, check it out!

We also announced The Raspberry Pi Foundation’s intentions for world domination in 2017, with plans to increase educational support and inspire more young digital makers. And if you’re an educator keen to get your students into computing and digital wonderment, the dates for Picademy UK are now available.

We’ve also had fun discovering some great builds this week, including an Amazon Alexa Teddy Ruxpin and a real-life Harry Potter Daily Prophet.

That’s all from me this week. I’ll catch you next Friday.

Peace

Alex
