What will happen in your session?
This is a workshop revolving around using the Raspberry Pi with a PIR (Passive Infra-Red) sensor, connected to the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO. When the PIR detects motion, it will trigger a photo to be taken with the Raspberry Pi Camera Module. Then the Pi will upload the photo along with a pre-set message to the participant’s Twitter account, using the twitter API implementation for Python.
What is the goal or outcome of your session?
The outcome of this session is to have the participants learn how to use the Twitter Python API, which allows them to get to grips with the basics of how to post tweets onto twitter and how to add media using the API. Our goal is to give kids an introduction into coding and showing them how they can interact with other services that they may use on a daily basis, and how they can make programs that can communicate with the outside world.
If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.
