An introduction to Raspberry Pi for teachers

Are you ready to teach the new computing curriculum in September?* If you have concerns - don't panic - you are not alone. Raspberry Pi training sessions at the Cambridge Centre for Computing History have been organised at the request of other teachers!

This informative, hands-on training day will give you useful practical experience.

Places are limited so please book early to avoid disappointment.

Although there are plenty of really good resources out there supporting Raspberry Pi, there is nothing quite lite having someone show you the basics and getting hands on experience.

So if you'll be teaching Computing this September and would like to be that one step ahead, these sessions will be invaluable to you!

These relaxed and fun sessions witll be conducted by a tecchy - not a teacher - we'll be guiding you through with practical and useful knowledge, not teaching you how to teach.

Optional Raspberry Pi Kit
If you want to take away a complete Raspberry Pi kit (including power supply, SD Card, keyboard, mouse, HDMI cable and USB hub) just select the option above and you can continue your adventures with Raspberry Pi from home!

This training day costs £75 per person. A buffet lunch and refreshments throughout the day are included.
