COMMUNITY

EVENTS

he Raspberry Pi community online is so big

that it regularly leaks into the real world,

usually through the power of a Raspberry

Jam. However, the Pi makes itself into many other

events that involve technology, such as Maker Faires.

RASPBERRY JAMS

A Raspberry Jam can be a lot of things, but

usually it’s a social event people can attend to

learn about the Raspberry Pi. Typically you’ll see

people showing off their projects, as well as stalls

where you can buy Raspberry Pi add-ons and

electronics kits.

These Jams are hosted by community members;

in fact, anyone can host a Jam if they wish!

Head over to the info page to find out more on

Raspberry Jams, including an events calendar so

you can try to attend one!

CoderDojo is part of the Raspberry Pi Foundation

and, much like Code Club, provides free resources

for people wanting to create programming clubs for

kids. There are also CoderDojo events such as the

Coolest Projects showcase, allowing young people to

show off the awesome stuff they’ve been making.
