Issue #222 - Save
Happy Friday, everyone!
It’s been an excellent week here at Raspberry Pi! We’ve launched our new season of Pioneers, challenging young digital makers to team up and create something to save humankind during an epic calamity.
Moreover, we’ll be sending a new payload to the International Space Station to upgrade our Astro Pis and make the next Astro Pi competition even more exciting.
Our newest YouTube video was gifted to us by Estefannie Explains It All, who built a laser-secured cookie jar using our free learning resources. Needless to say, we love everything about it!
We have also assembled a panoply of Raspberry Pi-related projects and articles for you. So whether you feel like making something cool, or more like putting up your feet for some reading instead, you’ll find what you need below.
Enjoy, and have a great week!
All the best,
Janina
