Raspberry Pi Forums

Hi Bez, We often get asked about when Picademy is coming to different parts of the world and we're constantly looking for ways to reach more teachers. You can find answers to you questions here https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/picademy-questions-answered/ The short answer however is no, we don’t cur...

Yes, UK applications are open to international attendees

Apologies to anyone that hasn't been able to get their Certified Educator forum status, we've now clarified the process.

We aim to give as much notice as possible of acceptance to events, all spaces for Liverpool have now been allocated and all applicants should have received an update as to whether they were accepted or not.

Please DM me if that hasn't happened, and I'll double check.

Hi,

The simple answer is yes. These two boards will work together, I flew an A+ with Sense and PITs boards in September last year.

At the time I used the PITs software to handle the GPS and telemetry transmission and ran a datalogger program to collet sensor data and write to a local file.

Our current model for picademy is very much a face to face experience and wouldn't translate easily to an online platform.

However we are looking into how we supplement this with some online training.

Hi Patrick,

If we can help answer any questions about Picademy let us know. If you're on twitter you can connect with past attendees and get their input using #picademy.

Our resources have been updated to reflect the new version of scratch, which has GPIO support built in.

If you are on wheezy you can install the latest version by typing

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nuscratch

I'll update the resource to include these instructions.

Yeah it'll have retrieved a html doc. (Not at school now).

Did the same thing for github raw files until I added exception.

I'll double check 2moro

I can ping the mirrordirector server but the same error Hit http://raspberrypi.collabora.com wheezy Release.gpg Hit http://archive.raspberrypi.org wheezy Release.gpg Hit http://raspberrypi.collabora.com wheezy Release Get:1 http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org wheezy Release.gpg [3,794 B] Hit http://a...

Ok thought so, It's been upblocked, but still getting the same errors.

We have exactly the same issue here in school with lightspeed too.

Our Network Manager is keen to help get it working and has added http://mirrordirector.org/ to the allowed list.
Is Mirror director just a redirection service to archive.raspbian.org?

Picademy is a fantastic 2 days which you are going to LOVE! Some simple advice would be: Ask every question you can think of no matter how small, crazy, simple, daft. They is no such thing as a silly question. The RPF team are amazing, get stuck with anything just ask, they will do anything and ever...

either installed as part of noobs image by default.

or

"sudo apt-get install sonic-pi"

in LXterminal

However version 2 is a significant improvement

Hey all,

If you ping Clive a private message he'll give your account a nice shiny badge --->

Hi all just following @missduttons example from cohort 1, thought I'd start a thread to share contact details. I'm James Robinson, currently working in Cambridgeshire secondary school, I also run a local CAS hub in the area. I can be contacted on: jrobinson at soham-college.org.uk james.robinson at ...

I guess as well, if a school (with a github org) had links with industry or computer science professionals (code club etc) then those professionals could see, comment and contribute to the code that pupils are producing on git hub. Could be quite cool...

I've been playing around a little with Github over the past week or two and can really see the benefit of using it for assessment. Especially with my KS4 Pupils who do more coding than KS3 and have their own pi to serve as a local repo. I'm hoping to find some time soon (year 11 leaving tomorrow mig...

Thanks everyone, I'll feed this back to our network guys. Perhaps a mobile router that could move with the pi kits and hook up to a spare network socket. This coupled with hidden ssid / different WPA key and MAC filtering should provide adequate security, and mean the pis could be used in rooms with...

Thanks Dougie, Shame, the lack of sudo for students would be a problem, as you say for GPIO etc. Is there any way of encrypting the WPA key so as to mask it, without removing students sudo abiltiy? I have students using their own Pi, I don't want to have to remove their sudo privilages just to use t...

Hi, I'd like to connect a set of raspberry pi to a school wifi network without compromising the wifi key. Is this possible? The key is a looong hex key, but one that the pupils aren't suppose to know. I'm assuming the pi stores the ssid and key in plaintext? I could restrict the plaintext file with ...

Cool, signed up for education about earlier this week and got a class to registered. Just waiting for edu account to be approved.

Thanks

I thought as much just wanted to check, I've adapted the Coder lessons for my own delivery but still essentially the same unit. While I'm here, I've been following #picademy tweets and interested in using github in the classroom. For backup but also beyond. Do you have any good places / tutorials / ...

Carrie Anne, I'm working in a school just outside Cambridge and as a CAS Master Teacher I'm looking to run some Pi CPD this term and just wanted to check whether you / the foundation would have any issue with me basing it on some of your resources. Eg the Coder scheme of work which is great and is s...
