Queer Code Glasgow - Introduction to the Raspberry Pi
Description changed:
Queer Code Scotland is a new meetup bringing together LGBTQ+ people with an interest in technology.
Speaker: Alison Aird
"The Raspberry Pi is a small single-board computer for students, hobbyists, artists and hackers.
In this talk, I will show how you can download the latest version of the Raspbian operating system, and get started with the Raspberry Pi. I will show how it is very easy to set up interactive projects, even with no prior electronics knowledge, using an add-on "Sense" board that can be programmed with Python.
I will demo a number of projects using the Raspberry Pi, including a retro gaming system, a web server, a time-lapse video camera, a Pi-powered Amazon Alexa speaker, and a robot. We’ll then aim to have a hands-on session, where people can get into small groups, view the demos in more detail, and optionally, try some simple programming on a Raspberry Pi."
