The Raspberry Pi Foundation and Computing At School (CAS) have teamed up to produce Hello World, a new computing and digital making magazine for teachers and educators.

The new magazine is set to be published three times a year, and is available entirely free as a Creative Commons PDF download.

Hello World is available in print, free of charge, for UK-based educators.

Visit the HelloWorld.cc website and sign up for your free subscription or download a PDF of the magazine.

Miles Berry, Contributing Editor of Hello World explains the new magazine:

Hello World has been written for anybody who’s introducing young people to computing and digital making, including primary and secondary teachers, volunteers, and parents. The magazine will be free for all, forever online, and free in print for teachers and educators based in the UK. Visit helloworld.cc to learn more. It’s a magazine that draws on the expertise and experience of the Raspberry Pi Foundation and Computing At School (CAS), part of BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT; it’s the successor to CAS’s Switched ON newsletter, edited by Roger Davies. His is a hard act to follow, and our hope is that Hello World will hold true to the vision behind Switched ON.

There are some fantastic features inside Hello World. Educators and teachers will find them invaluable, but we think they're interesting to anybody into computing in general.
