Join us for a vibrant, community-driven Raspberry Pi Jam in Bhopal, India!
This event is a hub for developers, enthusiasts, and Wikimedia volunteers to connect, share projects, exchange ideas, and explore how low-cost hardware can empower the free knowledge movement.

Whether you’re presenting a project, seeking inspiration, or just curious about digital making, come and be a part of the local maker community!

Objective: Powering Free Knowledge

This event aims to foster the spirit of open-source and digital making, specifically focusing on the intersection of hardware and Wikimedia projects:

• Share Projects & Ideas: Showcase any projects related to Raspberry Pi, microcontrollers, and open-source hardware.
• Wiki-Hardware Brainstorm: Identify and develop ideas for using low-cost hardware to support Wikimedia goals (e.g., offline access, data collection, GLAM efforts).
• Experience Exchange: Discuss articles and experiences from Raspberry Pi magazines (The MagPi, Wireframe, etc.) and related publications.
• Make Connections: Build a network of technical contributors for the Hardware Tools Supporting Wikimedia Projects initiative.

What to Expect (Topics & Activities)

1. Show & Tell: Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, or other hardware projects (even unfinished ones!) for sharing and feedback.
2. Hardware for Wiki Discussion: Dedicated space to discuss and prototype hardware tools that can solve real-world problems for Wikimedia contributors.
3. Skill Sharing: Informal Q&A and knowledge sharing on Python, electronics, and Linux.
4. Networking & Collaboration: Meet fellow makers and Wikimedia enthusiasts from Bhopal and surrounding regions.
