Issue #96 — Amazonian
Hi everyone
This weekend the Raspberry Pi Creative Technologists programme kicks off at Pi Towers in Cambridge – ten young people (16-21) – including one from Northern Ireland and one from Spain – are attending the induction weekend run by Rachel and me.
Also judging for the Astro Pi competition’s initial ideas phase took place this week – Primary school entries were judged along with the first part of Secondary school entries. Secondary schools still have time to enter by sending their code along with their ideas – until the final deadline on 29th June.
