Participants for the first one were all year 8s (12-13 year olds) whilst the second school presented us with pupils from years 6-8 (10-13 year olds). During our first outreach session, Tim took half the kids for a <a href=\"http:\/\/camjam.me\/edukit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CamJam EduKit 3<\/a> robotics workshop (with great success) while I took the other half and taught them about the <a href=\"https:\/\/thepihut.com\/products\/raspberry-pi-sense-hat-astro-pi?variant=4552311044\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SenseHAT<\/a> and how to program it with Python. Our second school was more limited and we taught just the SenseHAT part. We used <a href=\"https:\/\/pi-top.com\/products\/ceed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pi-topCEEDs<\/a> and a selection of the now-unavailable HDMIPi screens for the purpose.<\/p>\n<p>We found that the SenseHAT was a great device to engage the children, particularly with the <a href=\"https:\/\/astro-pi.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AstroPi<\/a>\u00a0space angle.<\/p>\n<p>In order to carry out the workshops, however, we needed resources and so we turned to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/resources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Raspberry Pi Foundation website&#8217;s Resources section<\/a>. There are several resources on there, however&#8230; they are not suitable for printing as they have the Trinket SenseHAT emulator embedded in the pages. Fortunately for us, <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/raspberrypilearning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">they store everything on GitHub<\/a>\u00a0and so I was able to go there and download the resources I wanted in a more &#8216;raw&#8217; format. A little editing in Microsoft Word and I (eventually) had printable versions without any Trinket detritus.<\/p>\n<h2>TL;DR<\/h2>\n<p>So! Here are the resources in PDF format:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.recantha.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/02-Random-Sparkles.pdf\">Random Sparkles<\/a>\u00a0(this is the one we started the kids on)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.recantha.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/01-Make-a-Digital-Magic-8-Ball.pdf\">Make a Digital 8-ball<\/a>\u00a0(this was the &#8216;stretch activity&#8217;)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.recantha.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/03-Marble-Maze.pdf\">Marble Maze<\/a>\u00a0(one pair got onto this one). You&#8217;ll also need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.recantha.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/03B-Grid.pdf\">the paper grid<\/a>\u00a0to draw out your &#8216;course&#8217;.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.recantha.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/04-Weather-Station.pdf\">Weather Station<\/a> (ditto)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I hope these come in useful for somebody &#8211; they took a great deal of work to get them ship-shape for printing! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<h2>Sidenote<\/h2>\n<p><em>Printable versions of the Raspberry Pi Foundation resources are, in my opinion, a necessity. In a straw poll of Educators and Jam organisers, we recently found that around 90% of people needed to be able to print the resources out. Fortunately, the Foundation is now working on <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.raspberrypi.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">printable versions of their resources<\/a>. There&#8217;s still a long way to go, however!<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17133\" style=\"width: 940px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.recantha.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/sensehat.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17133\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17133\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.recantha.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/sensehat.jpg?resize=560%2C462&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.recantha.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/sensehat.jpg?w=930&amp;ssl=1 930w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.recantha.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/sensehat.jpg?resize=300%2C248&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.recantha.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/sensehat.jpg?resize=768%2C634&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.recantha.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/sensehat.jpg?resize=560%2C462&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.recantha.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/sensehat.jpg?resize=260%2C215&amp;ssl=1 260w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.recantha.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/sensehat.jpg?resize=160%2C132&amp;ssl=1 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-17133\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image from The Pi Hut<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, Tim Richardson and I were lucky enough to be invited into two schools to teach pupils about the Raspberry Pi.
