"Raspberry Pi Day" at Penguins Unbound Meeting
APRIL 27th 2013!
Raspberry Pi Day will be a whole day (9:00am to 5:00pm) dedicated to
working with and learning about the Raspberry Pi !
This will be hands-on, so bring your Raspberry Pi and follow along with
your own Raspberry Pi!
Here is the agenda so far:

to know to get set up, to start loading and working with the basics

11:30 - 1:00 - Lunch
For Lunch, we will order pizza for all who would like to go in on
buying some pizza. ( You are also welcome to bring your own lunch or
go somewhere else.)
Afternoon sessions:
1:00 - 2:45 Blink'n Lights (by )
Using several things on the breadboard (RGB LED control, temperature
and humidity sensing, light sensing, reading a switch), plus it could
be added to on the fly as well, if there are any interesting ideas.
(It would be useful to have a Adafruit Pi Cobbler Breakout Kit,
