May 2018 Raspberry Jam
10am - 1pm at The National Museum of Computing
Curious about the Raspberry Pi? Want to learn to code or build cool electronics projects? Or maybe you're a maker and tinker who wants to share enthusiasm and knowledge with like-minded fans of these great little computers.
Raspberry Jams are social events held all over the world where people who are interested in Raspberry Pi come together to share their knowledge and learn new things as well as meeting other Pi fans.
This event is a combination of fun workshops where you can try your hand at a bit of electronics or coding and an informal, social show-and-tell. Made something cool? Come and show it to us all; share your knowledge and experience. Previously we've shown robots, musical gadgets, virtual reality and Pi-operated Enigma machines.
Nothing to show? Don't know a Raspberry Pi from a Strawberry Crumpet? No matter, this event is for you to learn about these remarkable computers and to eliminate any technofear you may have. Want to learn to code? Work with kids and need some support? Come along.
