Raspberry Jam is the global user group for anyone with an interest in the Raspberry Pi computer with Jams spreading from Manchester to Melbourne and Silicon Valley to Singapore.
Raspberry Jamboree is the annual international conference celebrating the educational potential of the Raspberry Pi computer.
Join us in celebrating the 2nd birthday of the Raspberry Pi as we aim to identify and share the impact that this low-cost computer is having on education. We focus purely on the potential this device offers for education, not its limitations.
Last year we sold out of all 400 tickets in advance of the event, so make sure to book yourself a ticket. If you would like to sponsor our event, or lead a session, please contact us.
We particularly want to encourage those with an interest in education to attend to discover exactly how they can use this device to inspire children to engage with computing. As well as a host of inspirational speakers, projects and classes, we aim to share effective Jam-making practice. As Raspberry Jam continues to spread far around the World, we plan to discuss what a successful Raspberry Jam tastes like, share the most successful recipes and the best ingredients so you can have a wonderful Jam in your area.
