Raspberry Pi Big Birthday Weekend 28 Feb – 1 March 2015

Raspberry Pi turns three (three!) next month and we would love you to come to our birthday party! The party is so huge and packed full of stuff that we couldn't fit it into one day so we'll be taking over the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory on Saturday 28th February and Sunday 1st March for the Raspberry Pi Big Birthday Weekend. It's going to be a buzzing behemoth benchmark of a birthday bash. Blimey! There will be captivating talks, animated hands-on workshops, informative show and tell sessions and chatty panel discussions. There will be a marketplace to buy the latest Raspberry Pi add-ons and other cool stuff. There will be competitions, prizes and goodies galore and a chance to chat with the Raspberry Pi team over a nice cup of tea. There will be gardens bright with sinuous rills and little, fez-wearing monkeys riding unicycles. You really don't want to miss it. This is *exactly* what it will be like. But with fewer pancakes. Each day will be different so feel free to come to both. As well as two days of all things Pi there will be an actual fill-yer-cakehole party from 4.30pm to 7.30pm on Saturday evening with food and drink (including a surprise birthday beverage). So whether you're a seasoned Pi person, whether you got a Pi for Christmas and would like to learn more or whether you're just wondering what it's all about then come along—we'd love to meet you. The Raspberry Pi Big Birthday Weekend is going to be a joyous celebration of creativity, technology and community so get your tickets now! Tickets are a scandalously reasonable £2.50 and entry is free for under 16s. Get involved! The party will be a celebration of all things Raspberry Pi which of course includes the amazing Raspberry Pi community. We’d like you to get involved and we are looking for people to: give talks about Pi-related stuff; run workshops or help run one; take part in show-and-tell especially if you have interactive stuff or crazy inventions; help run the day by spending a couple of hours as a marshal. If you’d like to do any of these things (or have any other suggestions) then please get in touch. And if you’ve not done anything like this before then this is the perfect opportunity to help out, delight and inform us or just show off :) The party is being organised for us by Tim Richardson and Michael Horne—who are responsible for the excellent CamJams—so drop them a line and get involved! We'll also be running the Pi Wars obstacle course as first seen in the December CamJam so bring your robot along if you think it's hard enough. We’ll have a birthday webpage up shortly where we will post updated details of speakers, workshops and activities. If you don't want to register yet but would like to be kept informed then sign up for the mailing list. See you there!
