Pi Towers Raspberry Jam

The Raspberry Pi Foundation (registered charity 1129409) works to put the power of digital making into the hands of people all over the world, so they are capable of understanding and shaping our increasingly digital world, able to solve the problems that matter to them, and equipped for the jobs of the future.We provide low-cost, high-performance computers that people use to learn, solve problems and have fun. We provide outreach and education to help more people access computing and digital making. We develop free resources to help people learn about computing and how to make things with computers, and train educators who can guide other people to learn.

Raspberry Pi Foundation

We're holding a Raspberry Jam at the offices of the Raspberry Pi Foundation! It's a family-friendly event - everyone is welcome. We'll be providing coding and digital making activities for children and adults to participate in, to have fun and learn with the Raspberry Pi computer. Jams are a great way to share ideas and meet like-minded people.
Activities
We will provide Raspberry Pi kits, worksheets and everything you'll need for our prepared informal activities. Experts from the Foundation and our community will be on hand to help.
Show-and-tell
If you have a project you'd like to bring along, please feel free. We'd love to showcase your home projects to demonstrate what can be done with the Pi.
Food
We will provide a light lunch buffet for attendees. Vegetarian options will be available. Alternatively, there are local shops and cafes nearby.
Start and end time
The event will open at 10.00am and an opening talk will start proceedings. The rest of the day will be unscheduled, and will close at 4.00pm.
