Issue #209 - Powered

Powered by Raspberry Pi logo on RevPi

Hey there!

You asked, and we delivered: get your free Raspberry Pride stickers from The Pi Hut and Pimoroni! And as if that’s not enough Pi goodness, this week we also released a brand-new update for Raspbian, which brings with it Scratch 2.0 for offline use, and includes Thonny, a user-friendly IDE for Python. If your product houses a Raspberry Pi, make sure to get it certified with the ‘Powered by Raspberry Pi’ logo. And if you’re yet to make anything, check out our highlights of last weekend’s CoderDojo Coolest Projects to get inspired. Who knows, maybe you’ll even start work on a robot you can enter into Pi Wars 2018, for which we have already registered our interest!

What a week! Better take a rest before it all starts again!

Peace,

Alex
