I cannot remember for the live of me whether I’ve already blogged this, but all the same it’s worthwhile multiple posts! Here’s David Whale’s experience and lessons learned from running a STEM club using the Pi with 50 kids!

Ardent Mobile Cloud Platform uses the #RaspberryPi
Beth at scanlime has blogged about a pretty insane project that uses a Raspberry Pi at it’s core. They’ve basically taken a forklift and built a ‘cloud’ on the end of the lifter with loads of lights inside and used the Pi to control the ligths.
Use the ultimate GPS breakout board with the #RaspberryPi
Martin O’Hanlon has blogged a great tutorial that shows you how to get set-up with the ultimate GPS breakout board from Adafruit. The board is available from many of the shops listed in the column on the right.
Be a #RaspberryPi NOOBS v1.3 beta tester!
Just posting this before leaving work for the day.
The Foundation are asking for beta testers for the newest version of NOOBS. Please head on over to their site to read more and become a beta tester yourself. This looks really exciting and a big step-up from the current version.
#RaspberryPi web browser options
Christian Cawley at makeuseof.com has done a round-up of the different internet browsers you could use on your Pi. He covers Midori, NetSurf, Lynx, Chromium and Luakit. He also goes through a bit of optimisation with Midori to get the best out of it.
Well worth a read if you want to browse the internet on your Pi and are frustrated with the speed.
