  • 3D printing RPi cases
  • Laser cutting RPi cases
  • Connecting LCD to RPI
  • Connecting camera to RPi
  • Connecting WiFi to RPi
  • Project: LED controller
  • Project: weather station
  • Project: TL bus display
  • Project: something else that is cool

Components

Schedule

  • Early march: set a date and discuss possibilities
  • Mid march: start developing workshops and finding motivated people
  • Mid march: start advertising the event massively
  • Late march/early april: have event

Resources

It would be nice to have some more RPi's that we can give to the public with a caution, as well as a wide selection of RPi sensors. We will also need to make sure to place this event in all of the calendars that univercite and hackuarium use to avoid confusion.
