2nd Pi Jam

The Dublin Raspberry Pi Jam team are hosting their 2nd jam and this time it’s in Tog. We are happy to play host to the growing Dublin Raspberry community. This jam will focus more on bringing your own equipment and working on projects. They want to emphasise that it is not a workshop, it’s an event where you feel free to ask questions and for help as well as share your own project and ideas to one another. 

The event takes place on  November 3rd, 2018 from 12:30. the event is free but requires tickets. For full information visit https://ti.to/dublin-raspberry-pi-jam/2nd-pi-jam/ .
