The main focus is for this meeting is to discover how the Raspberry Pi may be used in schools to inspire and enthuse pupils in computing. We are planning a series of events for teachers and families all associated with the Raspberry Pi, Scratch & Python.

Come along to the meeting if you want to discover if it is for you, to meet other interested teachers, discover different ways of teaching computing or maybe you are just curious.

At 6.30pm we will be asking you to contribute to planning a giant Raspberry Jam event to take place on April 13th. We want to encourage you to bring children and families from your schools to our Jam on the 13th April.  We would encourage you to stay, but if you need to, you may choose to leave at 6.30pm
