Guildford Raspberry Jam 3 - 8 October 2016





The 3rd Guildford Raspberry Jam will take place on 8th October at Guildford Library from 11.00-15.30

A Raspberry Pi Jam is a meetup for fans of all things Raspberry Pi based of all ages. If you want to learn about Raspberry Pis, get help from others, show off your projects, or meet like-minded people a Jam is the place to do so.

We’ll have several different Pis available to play around with and a lot more besides. We’ll have several example projects set up on the day including Makey Makey, raspberry Pi camera, robotic arm, Sonic Pi, Fuze computer, Kano and Minecraft Pi, fully programmable with Scratch. Bring your Pi along if you want, we’d love to see you there!

Suitable for all ages, but under 9yrs must be accompanied by an adult.
