* Python basics
* Introduction to programming with scratch
* 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

== 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.
