Issue #168 - Pallet

Wooden Pallet NES

Oh, hey there!

We. Want. You. Seriously, we do. We’ve a new 6-month paid internship available at Raspberry Pi ‘Pi Towers’, Cambridge, UK. As Events Assistant, you’ll get to do all sorts of awesome things including (though not limited to) eating free ice cream from the kitchen freezer, heading out for #FoodTruckFriday, Pokemon Go-ing at the Botanic Garden and, oh yeah, the actual responsibilities of the job, which you can find here!

In other news, Janne sent our Instagram followers all aflutter this week when we reshared his pallet NES. We’re not surprised in the slightest… it’s brilliant! Harvey has been causing a ruckus with the neighbours, Becky discovered the identity of the Hallway Whistler, and Ben got jiggy with a Raspberry Pi-powered box joint jig!

Don’t forget: you still have a few days to vote for the MagPi Magazine Top 20 Projects, so make sure you do!

Have a wonderful week. We’ll check in again next Friday!

Peace,

Alex

(Also… Clive Beale and #LuketheIntern left, causing us to coin the new hashtag #RaspberryCry. Much sadness at Pi Towers.)
