Are you curious about the world of electronics, microcontrollers, and smart sensors — but don’t know where to start?
Join us from the comfort of your home for an interactive online workshop where you'll dive into the exciting world of physical computing with the Raspberry Pi Pico, a low-cost yet powerful microcontroller designed for DIY projects and learning.
In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll guide you through the process of building your very own digital thermometer using the Raspberry Pi Pico and a DHT11 or DHT22 temperature & humidity sensor. You’ll follow along step-by-step as we explain the hardware setup, write simple Python code, and view real-time temperature readings from your sensor.
Whether you're a student, educator, hobbyist, or complete beginner, this session will give you a strong foundation to begin your journey into the Internet of Things (IoT), sensor projects, and microcontroller programming.
