MakeTronix Alarm and GPIOZero on Raspberry Pi
I funded the MakeTronix Alarm on IndieGoGo because it contains many of the
components I usd with Raspberry Pi at CoderDojo, but in one compact
package. Don't get me wrong, I'm all in favour of having learners

Finally... A High Altitude Balloon flight with Raspberry Pi
