Raspberry Pi workshop - RARA


RaRa Academy Workshops
What is a Raspberry Pi
— or —
If you already have one, how would you use one?
Saturday January 19th
 
These questions will be answered during the next RaRa Academy session about the Raspberry Pi. We will look into what exactly it is, how to set it up, and then what to do with it, with an emphasis on how it can be used in the ham shack.
Here are a few of the topics we will discuss:
•  What is a Raspberry Pi
•  Differences between the Arduino and a Pi
•  How to set it up
•  Installing software on the Pi - and keeping it up to date
•  Programing the Pi in Python
•  Transmitting and receiving with the Pi
•  The Pi as a tool in the ham shack
•  Resources that can help to get started (and keep going)
Latest Academy information is available at https://www.rochesterham.org/rara_academy.htm
Academy Workshops are held at the BSA Headquarters, 2320 Brighton Henrietta Town Line Rd, 10am to noon.
You can sign up for Academy Workshops by emailing education@rochesterham.org.
Please take advantage of the RaRa sponsored training and operating opportunities.

  1. Great post! Workshops like this are a fantastic way to introduce people to practical technology and hands-on learning. Learning platforms and project-based sessions really help beginners understand how tools like Raspberry Pi can be used in real-world applications. For those exploring career-focused tech skills, programs in Data Science, Full Stack Development, and Digital Marketing are also great options to build strong, future-ready skills.

  5. Great post! Hands-on workshops like this are a fantastic way to learn — understanding how to set up a Raspberry Pi and use it in a ham shack is both practical and fun. The step-by-step approach from hardware basics to Python programming makes it very beginner-friendly. Just like technical skills in radio, learning how to grow your online presence matters too — I recently found a helpful resource on digital marketing training in Chennai that's worth checking out for anyone looking to build career-ready digital skills.
