Raspberry Pi owners already know what the little computer that could is capable of, so it makes sense that there’s a reason to celebrate its birthday. The official Raspberry Pi Foundation has announced the exact date and additional details for the Raspberry Pi Birthday Weekend 2017 and its corresponding celebrations.
Next year will mark the Raspberry Pi’s fifth birthday as well as Code Club’s, and there’s an official party that will begin on Saturday, March 4th in 2017. The Raspberry Pi Foundation has the deets on what you can expect to see there:
“The celebration will be held at Cambridge Junction (a five-minute walk from Cambridge train station), on Saturday 4 March from 10:30 am to 6:30 pm, and on Sunday 5 March from 10:00 am to 5:30 pm. It will feature talks and workshops for which you can sign up, as well as drop-in sessions that allow you to get hands-on without the need to register, so there’s something for everyone. There will even be cupcakes and free goody bags for all partygoers! Tickets cost just 5 for over-16s, and under-16s go free.”
So if you’re going to be in the area at the time, you might want to think about visiting, especially since there will be opportunities to test out Code Club projects, get involved with Raspberry Pi, and check out the rest of the cool stuff on offer. If you’ve never played around with one before, you should definitely make it a priority. There’s a plethora of amazing projects you can put together with relatively little money and few resources and still be able to wow your audiences, even with a pretty low understanding of technology. That means if you have kids or even friends or family members looking to mess about with them, they should be able to with little muss or fuss. Probably.
