The RaspberryPi Foundation is visiting Alpha One Labs
September 23rd and
giving talks and workshops about the RaspberryPi to both members and
RaspberryPi users in the local community.
In case you haven’t heard of them, the Raspberry Pi Foundation is a
charitable organisation founded with the aim of promoting the study of
computer science and related topics, especially at school level. The
Foundation is responsible for the design and sales of the popular RaspberryPi
single board computer. You can find out more about the Foundation and the
RaspberryPi here.
The plan for the event consists of the following;
Talk:
RaspberryPi: Past, Present & Future – An introduction to the RaspberryPi,
including an overview of its history and development, details on the
technical specification and an outline of future developments with many cool
tech demos along the way. Followed by a Q&A session.
Tech Demos:
A chance to demonstrate various OS’s, new revisions of the Pi and the latest
add-on expansion hardware.
Workshop:
A Taste of RaspberryPi – A chance to play with the RaspberryPi hands-on.
Show & Tell / Prizes:
An opportunity to display RaspberryPi projects from the community with prizes
for notable projects.
The tour will be blogged/vlogged on the RaspberryPi website and will
hopefully attract RaspberryPi enthusiasts and hackers/makers from across the
areas we will be visiting, providing your hackspace with lots of worldwide
publicity.
