Femi, who is 11 and a very impressive character, was being filmed for a short documentary about his involvement with RasPi and its impact on him.
We chatted about how the Makerspace might work together with them and now have a request from them use the clean room to run three AstroPi workshop events, which would be Autism and Tourettes friendly, and aimed specificailly at young people (I’ll get more specific details soon)
Sundays: January22nd, 29th, and February 5th, from 1:45- 3.30 p.m.
Are there any objections to this? We’d also need at least one member per session to be present, so are looking for volunteers.
Will look at the dates but i’m in too - we have loads of Pi’s in the space - shall I order some basic memory cards for them anyway (not supplied when we blagged them) and then they are good to go ?
The aim is to develop a project to be taken to the International Space Station:
SLRJam has submitted a brief outline for the European Space Agency’s Astro Pi 2017 competition and we’ve got through to the next round. We would like you to join us for a series of workshops to form a team to look at the Raspberry Pi and Sense HAT.
This is a WiKi so if you are available to help on any of these dates please edit your name in. Alternatively discuss availability below.
Cool. We could also bring some other bits and pieces - one of Sam’s students won the last AstroPi competition and send his code into space with Tim Peake. Sadly we can only make the last session though.
So 12th of February is covered by @RichM and family!
We need a member present for the other two sessions (you don’t necessarily need to take part in the event, but for legal and common sense reasons a member needs to be there)
The session runs from 1:45- 3.30 p.m. so allow half an hour either side for setting up and closing up.
I’ve only just seen this, this looks amazing. I have a few students at school who would be amazing at this (some with autism). Won’t be able to do anything this weekend but the February dates look good
