RASPBERRY PI FOR ARTISTS 11/8

RaspberryPi 500

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH, 12PM – 7PM

This workshop is perfect for artists, developers, educators or anyone interested in experimenting with the Raspberry Pi.

Learn how to setup and turn your Raspberry Pi into a standalone machine for installations from the ground up. Starting from a fresh Pi we’ll be learning how to install various flavors of linux, access basic networking and video playback. We’ll also dive into writing our first programs to wire LED’s, buttons and motors. Everything you need to know to get the Pi set up and running your own projects!

Some more things we’ll cover:

  • The Pi is a cheaper alternative to a full computer setup; especially used in groups or in a network. How do we use one in an install?
  • Learn about Raspberry Pi networking basics and getting it talking to the internet.
  • Get down with some Linux to transfer files, run apps and navigate around the filesystem.
  • Learn how to optimize and run your already existing sketches, apps or video files on the Pi.

We will also discuss uses for some Raspberry Pi accessories; such as WiFi, cases, camera modules and sensor hookups. Pairing with your Phone or iPad and general installation debugging.

We will also be offering a Kit which will include a Raspberry Pi and  SD Card to get started as an option with the workshop fee.
