Hands-on Raspberry Pi Workshops: starting 3/28
The UMBC IEEE Student Branch will hold a hands-on Raspberry Pi Workshop Series over the next two weeks.
The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python, and use it to control other devices.
Level 1: An Introduction to the Raspberry Pi
This first workshop will introduce you to the Raspberry Pi world by discussing its components, versions, and uses. There will also be a basic introduction to Linux and some hands-on activities to familiarize you with the Raspberry Pi.
March 28, 5pm to 7pm, ITE 240
March 31, 12pm to 2pm, ITE 240
Level 2: Circuitry and the Raspberry Pi
The second workshop in our Raspberry Pi series will introduce you to the GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi, and provide you with a number of activities to experiment with using them.
April 4, 5pm to 7pm, ITE 240
April 7, 12pm to 2pm, ITE 240
Each of these workshops are designed to accommodate people with all levels of experience. Our activities will range from no-coding-needed to self-designed mini-projects, and the Executive Board will be ready to answer any questions you might have.
