NEWS

We had our first Raspberry Pi workshop, and it was booked out so quickly. If you have not seen what we have been up to, check out the blog here and here.

I know many of you were on the waiting list, we will be running another Pi workshop in Q2 (April, May or June) and will be hosted by the awesome folks at Facebook Dublin. So details to follow hopefully in the next newsletter.
