Issue #253 - Pokédex

Hi all,

Unseasonable colds delayed your newsletter this week, and even stole Alex‘s voice. However, they couldn’t stop her from heading to Makers Central with a team from Raspberry Pi, where we understand she spent the weekend communicating via a blend of semaphore and interpretive dance.

This week, we look back at last weekend’s Coolest Projects UK, the first time this fantastic showcase for young digital makers has come to the UK, and we welcome Sue Sentance as the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s Chief Learning Officer.

In Pi project news, a Pokédex is a real thing now and you can make your own with Adrian Rosebrock’s guidance – but if that’s not your thing, try a handy pantry barcode scanner, look at remote home monitoring and media player ideas, or be inspired by the possibilities that 3D printing can bring to your builds.

À la prochaine,

Helen
