Learning Sessions

Intro to Pi & Others is a short monthly session to help get you up and running with your Pi or Other (embedded device). It is an unstructured hour-long session where you can ask questions. Please bring in your Pi and power supply. All other equipment will be provided.

This is a three part series with each session building on the previous sessions, where Pi basics of software and hardware will be explored.

We have completed our fall 2018 session. Stay tuned for details for our Spring 2019 session.
