Raspberry Jams provide opportunities for people to get involved in digital making with Raspberry Pi, develop their abilities, get together, have fun, and socialise. Come along and see what the credit card sized computer can do. Learn how to get started, see exciting projects and learn more. Alternatively if you are already a Raspberry Pi expert come along and show off your project or give a lightning talk.
