Learn Raspberry Pi BasicsThis workshop is for anyone that wants to learn about the Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi® is a single-board computer developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intention of stimulating the teaching of basic computer science in schools.
The Raspberry Pi computer is a miniature ARM (phone) based PC which can do many of the things a desktop PC can do like word-processing, games, or playing back High-Definition video. We will put together basic component electrical circuits; learn about input and output; and explore basic python programming concepts and practices. Participants will gain a working knowledge of using a breadboard, Sonic Pi, and programming environment basics.

 Presented by our learning team, the workshop also features a fascinating exhibit on “Historic Video Games” that explains the impact of Early Video Games and describes how designers used to go about making games. Participants will walk away with the skills they need to develop their own games and a deeper understanding of the history of technology. Game ON!
