Description

Break out of the screen and control the outside world with Scratch and the Raspberry Pi! Interaction with physical objects brings a whole new dimension to computing. This is a hands on workshop where you will learn how to connect LEDs, buttons, motors and sensors to the Pi and control them using Scratch. With these basic skills you will be able to build everything from robots to parent detectors.

Agenda

Participants will join a ready prepared workstation with all equipment needed. Facilitator will talk through the process of using Scratch as an introduction to sensors and motors before participants have a go themselves with the help of staff.

Participants

The Raspberry Pi & Code Club team will be on hand to provide 1:1 tuition for small numbers or roaming help for up to 25 participants. Q&A opportunities apply to large or small numbers.

Outcome

Participants will be introduced to various relevant Scratch projects and Raspberry Pi resources which can be used at home afterwards.
