RASPBERRY PI BIRTHDAY JAM
Presented by the San Ramon Valley Education Foundation Imagineering Program
Saturday, February 29, 2020 from 9 am to 1 pm at both Los Cerros MS and California HS
The SRVEF is excited to join the global celebration with the Raspberry Pi Foundation to celebrate the eighth birthday of the Raspberry Pi computer (or its second birthday, depending on how strict you are about counting leap years)!
The Raspberry Pi is a powerful, yet inexpensive, micro-computer that is the perfect tool for an introduction to hardware and physical computing. Our goal is to provide a platform for students to gain the technical expertise needed to thrive in the highly competitive global environment. Getting comfortable with coding and the ability to work in functional teams are two major skills we intend to promote along with rewarding technical literacy skills and creativity.
At this event, student teams will be given a challenge that requires them to work in Python. They will work hands-on with sensors, LEDs, and other components, and use programming to control circuits.
The Birthday Jam at Los Cerros Middle School will be led by Rae Anne Crandall and Erin Lopez, and at California High School by Sean Raser. All our instructors are Raspberry Pi Certified, SRVUSD teachers, and are members of our SRVEF Imagineering Team.
