This evening we have a very interesting speaker who will tell us all about the Raspberry Pi mini-computer-for-all and its wide variety of uses - a credit card sized gadget - newst versions are Pi 3 and Pi Zero.

Speaker - user Matt Timmons-Brown.

Matthew Timmons-Brown is a 17 year old A level student from Cambridge. Over the course of the last several years, Matthew has created "The Raspberry Pi Guy"; a YouTube channel where he creates and shares free Computer Science educational content based around the Cambridge-born $30 Raspberry Pi computer. With over 4.5 million YouTube views, his channel features everything from programming tutorials to personal projects. Recently he created his own DIY 30km/h electric skateboard - which had coverage from the BBC, ITV and Cambridge News. In his final year at Hills Road Sixth Form College, Matthew hopes to start university next year at either Durham or St Andrews.

David Cleevely - his entrepreneurial activities have been focused on the Cambridge area, with Business Weekly describing him as an, "Intellectual heavyweight and passionate evangelist for the cluster". He has worked tirelessly to get government to understand what makes Cambridge academia and business tick. In 2009 he became the founding chairman for the new Centre for Science and Policy and in 2012 joined forces with Hermann Hauser and Jonathan Milner – described as the "three musketeers of the Cambridge technology cluster" – to launch a seed funding round to create a Science Centre in Cambridge. In 2014 he became Chairman of the Raspberry Pi Foundation and of Raspberry Pi Trading.
