Code in Python and Build with Raspberry Pi with pi-top [3]

Up for a challenge?

Build endless applications and programs with the perfect combination of Raspberry Pi and Python in one single laptop. Your imagination is the only limit!

This workshop is aimed at helping individuals to not only become familiar with the knowledge & applications of the Raspberry Pi single-board computer, but also to showcase how easy it is to learn about the hardware & software development applications using the pi-top[3] kit by pi-top. Throughout this course, participants will also have hands-on opportunity to work with other attendees to create their very own pi-top[3] based project using everything that they have picked up during the course (or outside of it).

Getting Started

• Introduction to the pi-top[3] kit
• Build/Setup your own-pitop[3]
• Run your first basic Python program on the pi-topOS
• Basic primer into Electronics with the Raspberry Pi

Familiarising with the Raspberry Pi

• Deep-dive into the hardware knowledge of the Raspberry Pi
• Understanding of the hardware

Python Programming

• Foundational understanding of the Python programming language syntax
• Learning about the basic constructs within the programming language
• Real world applications of Python
• Be familiar with the pi-topCODER
• Learn alternative ways of working with Python within the Raspbian

Electronics 101

• How to integrate basic electronics components & sensors with Raspberry Pi 3
• Work in groups to identify & solve a problem by building/programming using the pi-top. The project will last for a duration of 4 weeks
• Sonic Pi
• Learn how to code within the pi-topCODER interacting with the Sonic Pi
• Write their first piece of music

Intermediate Python Programming

• Simple object oriented programming
• Differentiating programming concepts and how they all work together
• Writing their first few classes, objects and even running the program
• Applied Raspberry Pi
• A deeper level of understanding of the real-world applications of the Raspberry Pi

Putting it all together

• Presentation
• Recap

What You'll Learn

• Have a solid understanding of what the Raspberry Pi is and what its potential applications are
• Be able to use the pi-top [3] not just for tinkering with electronics but also able to write meaningful applications using the Python 3 programming language
• Build their first real-world project using the knowledge & skills that are taught during the entire course
• Develop problem-solving, critical thinking & communication skills as they work in groups to develop their course-based projects
• Be able to apply what they have learned into the real-world
• Have lots of fun through making & learning

Who Should Take This Course

• Aspiring makers and hackers
