Issue #165 - Sky

Hello from Pi Towers!

This week, we continued to prove that the sky is no longer the limit, starting off with Skycademy 2016 (where Dan Fisher finally tells the tale of the time we were locked inside a military rifle range), continuing with the launch of the Sense HAT Emulator, and finishing with the Astro Pi 2015 Science results.

We’ve also seen some wonderful community projects, including the charming Lego step sequencer, Jim Roberts’ ASL tutorials, and Carrie Anne’s questionable Pi Towers Maker Day Whoo-Pi Cushion (I apologise in advance).

And don’t forget that there’s still time to enter the Internet of Voice Challenge with Raspberry Pi, Amazon, and hackster.io.

Have a great week,

Peace,

Alex
