Here at Pi Towers, we have a love/hate relationship with the Star Wars creatures known as Porgs. Love, because anything cute and annoying will instantly get our attention; hate, primarily because of this GIF: So when hackster.io tweeted about the following project, you can imagine the unfiltered excitement and fear with which I shared the link in the comms team Slack channel. It looked a little something like this: Google AIY Projects Kit When we announced the Google AIY Projects Kit as a freebie included in issue 57 of The MagPi , I don’t think we realised how well it would do.
