I’ve seen Raspberry Pis doing a lot of exciting things, from monitoring underwater conservation areas from the back of a turtle to helping winemakers take care of their vineyards in Japan. We’ve sent so many Raspberry Pis into space that it’s almost par for the course these days — but seeing one go down the runway at New York Fashion Week is something I never thought would happen.

The Koi-Tar guitar is a MIDI controller made from an SLA-printed housing with PCB capacitive touch sensors designed to look like lily pads.
