Description:
In this makerlab experience, learn the Python programming language by writing programs for a small, powerful computer the size of a deck of cards - the Raspberry Pi or "Pi." After learning Python basics, you will learn some introductory electronics in order to connect sensors, lights, and speakers so that you can light up LEDs, command your Pi to play sounds when a motion sensor is triggered, or make your Pi talk to someone if the come close enough. Students may purchase the Raspberry Pis to keep (~$100). In this fun, creative collaborative environment, after we gain confidence, we will use our imaginations to create our own interactive projects. What will you create? No programming experience is necessary!
