Hi Brighton Pi-ers, we're going to be running a few workshops at Build Brighton as part of the Brighton Science Festival next month (including a Raspberry Pi workshop) so I thought I'd send over the details.
If anyone's interested in helping out at the Raspberry Pi workshop in exchange for a free ticket, please reply to this message or drop me an email expressing your interest. Thanks!

Soldering Is Easy!
Saturday 9th Feb, 11am and 3pm
BuildBrighton bring back our new and improved Drawdio+ synthesiser pencil kit for you to get your soldering-fu in action!
Soldering is an extremely useful skill, and one that's much easier than folk typically think. With our easy to assemble Drawdio kit, we'll take you through the various techniques you'll need to be a dab hand with a soldering iron & multimeter.
The workshop lasts for 3 hours, and if you finish your Drawdio early we'll have plenty of other fun kit for you to play with.
£15, ages 12+ (must be with parent or guardian)

Make your own MP3 player
Saturday 16th Feb, 11am to 5pm
Make your own Arduino MP3 Player!
You’ve got the latest phone, with super-slim design, 4G broadband internet and online video streaming support with all the latest apps and gizmos. What gadget could possibly be cooler? Well how about making your very own music player?
In this five hour workshop we’ll get a freshly soldered audio board actually playing songs and music that have been stored on an external SD card. Using the Arduino platform, we’ll be adding a simple character-based LCD and buttons so you can make your very own portable mp3 audio player. Now what could be cooler than that?
£50 with own Arduino kit, £75 including our Arduino starter kit. Ages 12+ (with parent or guardian). All equipment and components provided.

Mmmm Pi! Get your Raspberry Pi talking to the world
Sunday 17th Feb, 11am to 5pm
The Raspberry Pi has been hailed as the next big thing in so many ways - programming in schools, hobby robotics, even taking photos from the edge of space! But just how do you get it talking to the world around it?
This five hour workshop will take you through getting your Pi connected to a whole manner of electronics: temperature sensors, motor controllers, light detectors - and then report all this info out to Twitter & it's own wee website!
All equipment and components will be provided, including a prototyping shield to make it easy to add custom electronics and wiring.
£50 with own Pi, £85 including a full Pi kit. Ages 12+ (with parent or guardian)
