Description
The Raspberry Pi is a very small self-contained computer which can be programmed with a variety of common languages including Scratch, Python and Java. It comes with a set of easily programmable interfaces which allow the Pi to be used to control other devices. This workshop provides an introduction into the world of computers and controllers. The workshop will focus on hands on activities with the Raspberry Pis and light electronics, buttons and game controllers. Programming will be primarily done in Scratch so attendance at Scratch 2, or extensive prior experience, with Scratch is recommended.
About the organiser
Bridge21 are proud to offer several innovative computing workshops for teachers and educators. After participation in the workshops (details below), participants will have developed a number of new technical skills and will be confident planning activities involving digital media production, programming and computational thinking. The workshops will also be useful for educators and mentors who are engaged in informal education through Club-houses, CoderDojo, TechSpace and other similar youth programmes.
All of the sessions are hands-on in nature and are delivered using the Bridge21 learning model. Most workshops will take place in Trinity College Dublin, and selected workshops will take place in our purpose-designed learning space in Oriel House, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, which is located just off the main Trinity College Dublin campus – (see map here). Others will be run at Google Buildings in Grand Canal Dock. The workshops are subject to availability of resources and sufficient demand.
