This workshop is for librarians who want to learn about the Raspberry Pi for possible new programming opportunities and makerspace activities for patrons.

We will put together basic components; learn about input and output, basic python programming concepts and practices.

Come learn and play with our Raspberry Pi’s and help educate a new generation of programmers and electronics engineers!  No experience necessary.
