Welcome
WELCOME TO
THE OFFICIAL
MAGAZINE
is beautiful’ advert, to
The LEGO Movie,
it
has provided inspiration that spans generations.
LEGO was also the universally loved toy when
The MagPi
team was young. It has been a constant
presence through our lives, regardless of our ages
or backgrounds.
I like to think there’s a lot that Raspberry Pi
and LEGO have in common, and the team’s been
hankering after making a LEGO feature for a while.
It’s not just childhood nostalgia – we feel it’s just
as useful for adults. The free-range creativity that
makes LEGO so much fun when you’re a kid is what
makes it useful as a digital maker. You can make
just about anything, given enough LEGO bricks.
Our LEGO and Raspberry Pi feature (page 16)
is spectacular. You will learn how to build LEGO
robots that solve Rubik’s Cubes, Segway-style
self-balancing robots, and retro NES games
consoles; and marvel at a huge bunch of incredible
community builds based on LEGO.
So don’t be afraid to add some LEGO to your
projects. It’s a versatile building material that
you can use, and reuse, across a range of builds.
Everything is awesome!
