Issue #220 - Thirteen

Hello there,

What a week! Where do I even start?

Code Club has announced the expansion of their age range, with free resources and support now available for 9- to 13-year-olds. Woohoo! Our eager resource builders have added five new advanced Scratch projects to seal the deal.

CoderDojo has been hard at work on a new book about game development for aspiring coders, and it’s finally been released. Want to learn to make your own game? With this step-by-step guide, it will be easy and fun!

Speaking of learning, we also launched a new free FutureLearn course to help you explore object-oriented programming in Python.

If you haven’t already, be sure to check out the newest issue of Hello World. UK-based educators can get the physical copy delivered to their home for free, and the free PDF is available for everyone online.

Have you signed up to host a Raspberry Jam for our Big Birthday Weekend event yet? Come and join the global party!

And hot off the press: make sure to update your version of Raspbian Stretch, as we’ve just this moment released an update with a stripped-down version of Thonny.

Catch you next Friday!

Peace

Alex
