At the end of January (20th-23rd), the Raspberry Pi Education Team will be at the Bett Show at ExCel, London. They will be near the STEAM Village on stand 463 and they are offering the opportunity to take part in STEAM (the new word for STEM… but with art added) workshops based around the Pi. On Saturday 23rd, they are holding their very own Raspberry Jam in the “Technology in HE Summit Space” and on Friday 22nd, Sam Aaron will be demonstrating Sonic Pi live coding in the Bett Arena. Various other talks and activities will be taking place across the various stages and spaces.
Myself, Tim and Jamie (from The Pi Hut) attended last year’s event and found it really worthwhile. There’s a great buzz around the place and, with the Foundation’s increased exposure this year, the Pi is certainly going to be highly visible. Definitely worth a visit if you’re at all interested in Computing in Education.
Tim and I will be attending again on the Saturday – maybe we’ll see you there! (We’ll probably be wearing our purple Cambridge Raspberry Jam polo shirts).
