    • Overview – hardware and software


    • What’s the big deal?
    • Examples & demos
    • Hands-on, questions, discussion
    ATTENDEES WILL…

    • Know and understand the basic features of the Raspberry Pi


    • Explore the vast universe of Raspberry Pi projects
    • Get ideas about what the RPi can do for you
    • Get ideas about how to use in your classes
    • Do something that you didn’t know you could do!
    • Leave curious and fearless!
    WHAT IS A RASPBERRY PI - HARDWARE
    • Small, inexpensive computer ($65-$150)
    • 1.2 GHz ARM processor, 1 Gb RAM (Pentium+)
    • USB x4, Bluetooth, WiFi, Ethernet, HDMI
    • Camera interface
    • Micro SD card instead of a hard drive
    • General Purpose I/O (GPIO) pins

    you can’t control the router)
    SETUP & CONNECT
    • If you have a laptop, you can use it instead of a Chromebook
    • Download VNC viewer at https://www.realvnc.com/en/download/viewer/
    • Remove contents from box and attach power stick to RPi
    SETUP AND CONNECT

    • Push button on power stick


    • Change your WiFi connection to
    HornetLAN1
    Password: icyskates631
    You will not have Internet connectivity!

    • Open VNC Viewer and enter the address that is formed with your RPi number:
    192.168.1.1XX where XX is the number on your Rpi
    Example: If the number is 3, then enter 192.168.1.103
    SETUP AND CONNECT
