Raspberry Pi itself is deeply connected with industry professionals and enthusiasts, and a new Events section can also be found on Raspberry Pi’s website.
Here, you’ll find Raspberry Pi at industry trade shows and hobbyist events. Kicking off with Embedded World 2023, where you can meet Raspberry Pi makers. Eben Upton will be talking about “Raspberry Pi: past, present, and future” at the University of Cambridge, and we will be at the Write the Docs festival in Portland, OR. You can also visit Raspberry Pi at its store in Cambridge, or a pop-up store coming soon to Southampton.
And this is just the beginning of official Raspberry Pi events. There are also Raspberry Pi community events: Tech Jams, meetups, and maker space days.
Team huddle
The Raspberry Pi community is a vibrant place, where industrial makers, enthusiastic programmers, educators, and hobbyists all gather to discuss projects and share ideas. This diverse group of people is brought together by a love of computing and the idea that ‘making makes the world a better place.’
This love manifests itself via Raspberry Pi, because it’s the best low-cost, single-board computer, around; but it’d probably exist anyway. I’ve tried lots of different computers, and Raspberry Pi is the best – mostly because it’s so versatile. This small, low-cost computer is used for a wide range of applications, from building robots to running servers; playing retro games and automating your home. And, of course, coding and computing for its own sake. I’m happy to mess around with some abstract concepts in Visual Studio Code.
Perhaps the most important part of the Raspberry Pi community is the spirit of collaboration that brings everyone together. Whether you’re a total beginner or an experienced professional, everyone is welcome, and everyone is encouraged to share their knowledge. This supportive atmosphere is reflected in the many online forums, blogs, and social media groups that are dedicated to the Raspberry Pi and the projects that can be built with it.
We’re currently in the midst of our #MonthOfMaking event, but you can share whatever you’ve made with The MagPi team using #MagPiMonday. Your build could make it into these hallowed pages.
