Introduction to the Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi is a small single-board computer for students, hobbyists, artists and hackers. The latest version, the Raspberry Pi 3, costs only about £30, and comes with built-in wi-fi and Bluetooth. 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 then demo a number of projects that the Raspberry Pi can be used for, including a web server, a home media centre, a time-lapse video camera, and a fully functional Amazon Alexa speaker. We’ll then aim to have a hands-on session, where people can get into small groups, and try some simple programming on a Raspberry Pi. If you already have experience with the Raspberry Pi, feel free to get in touch with me in advance of the talk, and let me know what you’ve already done.
