Join us for a fun introduction to Python programming using a Raspberry Pi. No experience with programming or electronics is needed. We'll start by learning the basics about the Raspberry Pi, Breadboard, electronic circuits, LEDs and push buttons. Then, we'll put our skills and knowledge to work in a series of increasingly complex challenges by programming a digital piano, the SIMON game and an Invaders game where you can prevent the alien invasion!
