Issue #332 - What does Yoda look like photographed through 20,000 straws?

Howdy,

We were so happy to hear from Dominique Laloux again, who we have been in touch with since 2013 when he started to bring computing to students in Togo, West Africa. He’s still going and opened a brand-new Raspberry Pi room in a remote school earlier this year.

Our Digital Making at Home team live-streamed an introduction to HTML coding and some easy Scratch programming this week. They also spoke to special guest Maimuna, who works as a software engineer here at Raspberry Pi!

You’ll notice the blog taking a Halloweeny turn this month, and first up, we learn about an ultra-sonic bat detector. And make sure you check out that camera lens made of thousands of straws — the photos it takes are mesmerising.

Welcome to autumn, everyone!

Peace

Ashley
