It has changed the way I think about electronics and shaped what I do in the majority of my free time. When I&#8217;m not soldering up something new, or programming in Python, I am organising the Cambridge Raspberry Jam. Organising the Jams, with Tim Richardson (@geeky_tim), has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life and I hope it continues for some time. It&#8217;s enabled me to meet up with like-minded people and, more importantly, to help children learn programming and electronics. The next one is on 10th May and I know it will be an enormous achievement to get it organised in time so that it&#8217;s a success.
