Issue #196 - Zelda

With a special message from French ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet aboard the ISS, this week saw the winner announcements for the first European Astro Pi challenge. We were blown away by the projects that came from schools across all the ESA countries, and we look forward to seeing the results of their experiments in space.

We also found ourselves in awe of Allen Pan’s Zelda-themed home automation system, which allows him to use an ocarina to control various devices in his home.

If you’re interested in the work of the Raspberry Pi Foundation and Code Club, we’re currently looking for a Regional Coordinator for London and the East of England. Spread the word!

And as always, we’ve filled this week’s Raspberry Pi Weekly with some awesome projects for you to try at home. So sit down, grab a cup of tea and get stuck into it.

See you next Friday,

Peace.
