Report

To promote innovation and to provide, for the students, a facility, where they can develop

products and test new ideas, Gujarat Technological University has established Community

Innovation & Co-Creation Centre (CiC3) at GTU’s Ahmedabad Campus, ACPC Building, LDCE

Complex, Ahmedabad. C-i-C3 regularly organizes workshops and seminars to upgrade

knowledge and build advanced skills among the students of Engineering.

GTU organized two sessions of One day Workshop on Raspberry pi on 14th and 27th December

2014 at C-i-C3, GTU, Ahmedabad. 190 participants registered for the workshops and GTU

invited all of them. All students were guided in brief about Raspberry Pi board. The sessions on

both the days were for hands- on practical experience on Raspberry Pi.

The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor

or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables to

explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python. It is

capable of doing many things, we would expect a desktop computer to do, from browsing the

internet and playing high-definition video, to making spread sheets, word-processing, and

playing games.

The following topics were covered in the Hands-on workshop:

Introduction to Linux

Introduction to Raspberry-Pi

Operating porting

Basic commands of Linux

Shell scripting

Python programming

Scratch programming

Gpio programming and script

Python Gpio programming

Students actively participated in these both workshops. They programmed Raspberry-Pi and

performed several commands on it. Students also learnt about connecting other hardware

components to Raspberry-Pi board to make more advance configuration. By attending this

workshop, students obtained not only basic knowledge but also guidance about how to get

advanced level of knowledge in Raspberry-Pi by self-learning. Several students participated in

Hack-Pi-Duino on Raspberry-Pi competition after attending this workshop and utilized

knowledge to make working Raspberry-Pi based projects.
