School clubs
Check to see if there is a Raspberry Pi or coding club at your school.
If not, why not approach your ICT or computing teacher and ask about helping
to start one? To start your own school club you will need:
•
A teacher or adult willing to help supervise and run the club. his could be a
teaching assistant, technician or a parent.
•
A venue, such as a classroom, with tables, chairs and access to power sock-
ets and possibly the Internet, although that is not essential.
•
A suitable time to hold the club, perhaps after school one night every week.
Your teacher will be able to help you with this.
•
Some posters to advertise your club.
•
Some enthusiastic club members who own their own Raspberry Pi to bring
along.
