Issue #107 — Drones
Hi all
This week MagPi Issue #35 was released – and it was announced that next month’s magazine will be in print – available in newsagents, initially in the UK and US. Since the Foundation picked up the magazine it’s had a major facelift by editor Russell Barnes, and it’s great to see it go to print so soon – with the free PDF remaining, as promised.
Last weekend I gave workshops to adult-child pairs at FACT in Liverpool, introducing them to the Plantpot Greenhouse kit produced by Rachel. Meanwhile, Carrie Anne and James attended ISTE in Philadelphia.
Next week Picademy@Google takes place in Leeds – and Monday is the deadline for all Astro Pi competition entries.
