Issue #178 - Lollipop

Lickable Controller

Hello there,

This week has been sponsored by kittens. Kittens, lollipops, and hilarious IoT projects.

We’ve got the lowdown from the brilliant Raspberry Pi Challenge at the University of York, plus our friend the Raspberry Pi Guy racing through Cambridge on his Pi-powered skateboard.

You only have until this Sunday, 13 November, to apply for the ESA European Astro Pi Challenge 2016 , so please make sure you do.

If you’re feeling creative, you can try out our new resource this weekend: the Pi-powered Whoopi Cushion!

Have a great week and I’ll catch you next Friday.

Peace.

Alex
