Issue #217 - Stretch

Hello there,

Our big news this week is the arrival of Raspbian Stretch for Raspberry Pi. Upgrade your Pi’s OS today to benefit from brilliant features like Sonic Pi 3.0.1, the Sense HAT extension for Scratch 2.0, and more.

We also saw Code Club Australia’s Moonhack event beat last year’s record for the most kids coding on one day, and the final Picademy USA of the year. Phew!

If you create any awesome Raspberry Pi builds this weekend, make sure to share them with us on social media.

And to all the Code Club volunteers in Scotland, have a great start of term!

Until next week,

Peace

Alex
