NEW SUNDAY HOURS 1:30PM - 4:00PM Learn about Raspberry Pi's We invite you to come explore, code, and create at our Learning Lab! We're located at The Meadows Professional Office Park, 1130 Ten Rod Road, North Kingstown, Rhode Island. You'll find us in Building C, Suite 103 on the upper lot. We look forward to seeing you soon, and in the meantime you can check out a few of our current learning experiences below:
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.
Make Your Own Video GamesHave you ever wondered how the designers of your favorite games work their magic? Come "crack the code" of games in the Rhode Island Computer Museum's "Make Your Own Video Game" workshop. This is a great chance to put down your controllers, dive into learning the interactive "Scratch" software--a user-friendly program developed by MIT to teach software coding--and create your very own video game sample.
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!
