The Raspberry Pi community has been starting maker groups and hosting their own events for years. I believe the first Raspberry Jam began with four guys meeting in a pub once a month to talk tech, and now our community events calendar has entries coming in from all over the world.
These events are designed to bring together makers, tinkerers, and the Raspberry Pi–curious. Some are for complete beginners just dipping their toes in, while others have full-blown computer engineers in their ranks. Some take place in maker spaces, giving attendees a chance to try their hand at things like soldering and coding, while others are more laid-back affairs where small groups bring along their homemade projects to share.
This summer, Raspberry Pi community events are happening everywhere from Karachi to Bangalore and from Paris to Cornwall. There are also some online events you can attend from the comfort of your sofa. If you can’t see anything near you, why not club together with other like-minded nerds and start your own event? Whether it’s for five people or 500, a weekly occurrence or a one-off special, fill in this quick form with a few details and we’ll add your event to our calendar so more people can find and join you.
