Raspberry Pi: Up and Running
For those of you who haven’t yet played around with Raspberry Pi, this one’s for you. In this how-to video, Matt walks you through how to get a Raspberry Pi up and running. It’s the first in a series of Raspberry Pi videos that we’re releasing to accompany our new book, Getting Started with Raspberry Pi. It covers Raspberry Pi and Linux basics and then works up to using Scratch, Python, GPIO (to control LED’s and switches), and web development on the board.

Made on Earth: Split-Flap Storytelling
In a nod to Eadweard Muybridge’s contribution to the early development of motion pictures, Wendy Marvel and Mark Arnon Rosen’s Mechanical Flip Books tell a very short story in just 24 frames.
