Description :

Create a basic intruder alarm with the Raspberry Pi Pico and protect your bedrooms from being invaded by parents and siblings!

We will be using the the MicroPython library to create this.  We will start by controlling an LED using the Pico and then continue to add a buzzer and a tripwire to create a basic intruder alarm! 

The workshop includes a Pi Pico, and an electronics kit containing all the parts you need that are yours to keep. 

The session is aimed at children aged 11 years and older.

This workshop session is priced at £30 per participant and includes the cost of the kit and entry to the museum! For participants under the age of 14, we require an accompanying adult to attend the workshop alongside them. Accompanying adult tickets can be purchased for the normal museum entry price of £12. 

Date: Thursday 30th May 2024
Time: 2 pm – 4 pm

This workshop will start promptly at 2 pm, so please arrive at least 15 minutes early.

Although the event booking is for a specific time, entry to the Centre is permitted all day. The Centre is open from 10am.

Snacks will be available from our Pac-Lunch Shop. There's plenty of seating for parents :)

Spaces for these exciting hands-on events are limited, so booking is required to ensure your place.

Payment is taken by PayPal immediately. Please print a copy of the receipt that is displayed at the end of the payment process and bring it with you as your e-ticket.

Cancellations: We are unable to provide refunds for cancellations in the 14 days prior to the workshop. This is because we will have purchased the kits. However, you are still welcome to collect your kit from the museum during our normal opening hours.
