Tri-City youths can learn how to use Raspberry Pi microcomputers in a two-part workshop at Coquitlam Public Library’s City Centre branch on July 21 and 28.
Professor Eric Meyers and students from the UBC iSchool will guide kids aged 10 and older through the lessons.
During Session 1 on July 21, Meyers will introduce the Raspberry Pi computer and focus on music and animation.
In Session 2 one week later, kids will build simple games and learn how to add buttons, lights and sensors.
Both sessions will run from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the library’s computer lab.
No prior experience with coding, or with Raspberry Pi computers, is necessary. Due to limited space, registration is required. To confirm a spot for your child in both workshops, call 604-554-7334.
