Celebrate Pi Day (3/14) by building a real computer powered by a Raspberry Pi—a credit-card-sized device that proves big ideas don’t need big hardware.

In this hands-on class, we’ll:

  • Learn what a Raspberry Pi is and why it’s used in education, engineering, and DIY projects
  • Assemble a working computer from simple parts (Pi, power, storage, keyboard, display)
  • Install and boot Raspberry Pi OS (Linux)
  • Explore how the Pi can be used for coding, electronics, media centers, retro gaming, and more
  • Talk about why small, efficient computers matter for learning, repair, and reducing e-waste
     

No prior experience required—this class is designed for curious beginners, tinkerers, and lifelong learners. If you’ve ever wondered how a computer really works, Pi Day is the perfect time to find out.
