Issue #176 - Spooky

Raspberry Pi Halloween

Hi there,

Things are a little spooky here at Pi Towers as we draw ever closer to Halloween. So why not have a go at our Spooky Spot the Difference or build your own Pumpkin Light Effect with a Pi and Pimoroni Blinkt!?

The MagPi team have had a busy week releasing both Issue 51 of The MagPi Magazine and FOUR new Essentials guides in physical, hard copy format.

In other news, our wonderful Lord of Astro Pi, Dave Honess, won the Sir Arthur Clarke award in the Industry Project / Individual category, and we’re all super-proud of him. Make sure to check out the Astro Pi European Challenge and give him some more work to do!

We’ll have some more Halloween treats for you on Monday, so keep your eyes on our social media channels at Facebook, Google+, Twitter, and Instagram (plus our Halloween ‘Spooky Pi’ board on Pinterest!)

Have a great weekend.

Peace,

Alex
