Introduction to Python and Electronics Workshop Series (5 Weeks)

Learning Studios, The Digital Depot, Saturday, September 5 at 11:00 AM GMT+1

sundmay⚡️ Welcome to the world of electronics with Python that can interact with electronics (it's called CircuitPython).

⚙️ Through a series of five 1.5 hour workshops, we will introduce you to circuits with paper circuits, find out what breadboards are (It's not made of bread 🍞). How it all connects together, what is a Raspberry Pi Pico, and how do you use code to make it all work? And what is this CircuitPython you keep mentioning?

🎮 By the last session, you will be able to code a game controller connected to a Raspberry Pi Pico, and when you connect that a laptop, you can play games! And as it's customisable, you can change and modify it as it's all in Python! 🐍

👉 Each session builds on the previous one, so it's advised to attend all the sessions.

NOTE: There's only 10 places for this workshop.
We hope to see more folks from the underrepresented community to participate in our workshop series.
