Issue #170 - Pledge

Oh hi there,

Welcome to your weekly Pi roundup, offering some of our favourite news, projects, and articles from the week.

Picademy has made a pledge to President Obama and the Computer Science For All initiative, committing to the expansion of Raspberry Pi Certified Educator training opportunities across the United States in 2017.

GPIO Zero v1.3 is here, with Ben Nuttall explaining what’s new for the community of Pi users.

Remember to catch us over on Instagram, Twitter, Google+, Snapchat, and Pinterest for other Raspberry Pi (okay, 90% Raspberry Pi, 10% ‘Look what Liz and Alex found’) bits and pieces throughout the week.

Peace,

Alex
