Issue #110 — Bilbao

Hi all

This week the Pi Education team are out at EuroPython in Bilbao, Spain where they’re giving talks and running the conference’s Education Summit. Yesterday Carrie Anne gave the keynote and James and I followed with talks on physical computing, the weather station and community.

Last week James led a high altitude balloon launch in Cambridge, attended and assisted by other members of the team.
