Issue #197 - Winners
Welcome to Raspberry Pi Weekly #197!
This week saw the winners’ announcement for our first ever Pioneers challenge: Make Us Laugh. We spent a day in London with our amazing judges, watching every video and laughing till we cried. The quality of young makers’ submissions was just brilliant – take a look and see for yourself. We’ll launch the next challenge on 24 April!
If you fancy a fun project for the impending Easter holidays, why not try the All-Seeing Pi tweeting photo booth, featuring Snapchat-esque filters. Or maybe, if you’re feeling magical, Allen Pan’s real-life Wizard Duel.
With loads of events happening over the next few months, you could head to your local Raspberry Jam to meet like-minded makers and try out some new projects or resources. And if you want to see what the community is up to, The MagPi Magazine issue 56 is out now. So check it out!
Have a great week and we’ll see you next Friday.
Peace
Alex
