WELCOME TO THE FIRST THORPE RASPBERRY JAM!!!
SOUNDS TASTY! WHAT IS A RASPBERRY JAM?
Raspberry Jams are community meetups for people to come together to learn about digital making with Raspberry Pis and other similar tech such as Microbits, Arduinos and many more. If you are curious and want to know more, or have a project you would like to bring along and show off, then you are going to love a Jam. And it is free!!!
 
WHAT CAN I DO THERE?
Raspberry Jams all over the UK come in all shapes and sizes. At Thorpe Raspberry Jam some of the activities we are offering include:
WORKSHOPS- Try one and learn something new.
SHOW & TELL - See what other people are working on and find some new ideas and inspirations.
DROP-IN SESSIONS - We will have some Raspberry Pis set up so you can come and work on your own projects or try a Pi for the first time. We have some activities you can try including hacking Minecraft and controlling some simple electronics with a Pi. 
The event is free and open to all ages and abilities.
Please note: Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
 
RASPBERRY JAM MAKERS
A Raspberry Jam cannot happen without Makers. The more Makers we have the more activities we can offer. You don't need to have lots of tech knowledge, just be keen to help out between 10am and 1pm on the day! If you would like to help or have any questions please contact me using the Contact The Organiser link.
 
SHOW & TELL
If you have a project you would like to share with us we would love to see it. Please register for one of the Show & Tell tickets and I will be in touch to make sure we can accommodate you.
 
WORKSHOPS / TALKS
We are always looking for people who would like to run a workshop or talk about a subject they are passionate about. If you think you could do this please contact me using the "Contact The Organiser" link.
