Issue #148 - Scales

Hi all,

In a first for Raspberry Pi Weekly, this issue comes from someone other than Ben, who is away on a UK camping holiday. We wish him all the luck in the world.

This week, we announced the winners of our 2016 Astro Pi Coding Challenges. British ESA astronaut Tim Peake will use their MP3 player code and listen to their Sonic Pi tunes on the International Space Station!

We’ve announced new dates for Picademy@Google in Newcastle and London in the UK; there’s also an update on Pi Zero from our forums.
