UC Love Data Week Series
Unlock Your Research Potential with Raspberry Pi
Are you interested in experimental design, data analysis, or building custom scientific tools? This beginner-friendly workshop provides the practical skills you need to transition from theoretical concepts to hands-on research. We'll utilize the powerful Raspberry Pi single-board computer and the all-in-one Sense HAT (Sensor Hardware Attached on Top) to create a versatile, low-cost data acquisition system.
Key Learning Outcomes for Future Academic Success:
Applied Python Programming: Learn the core logic and syntax of Python, the most in-demand language for scientific computing, data science, and academic research.
High-Quality Data Collection: Understand how to properly interface with and sample digital sensors to collect reliable and reproducible data on:
Environmental Monitoring (Temperature & Humidity): Essential for climate studies, plant biology, and indoor air quality experiments.
Motion Tracking (Gyroscope): Fundamental for robotics, motion analysis, structural engineering, and physics experiments.
Feedback & Visualization: Gain experience in creating simple yet powerful visual feedback systems by programming the 8x8 LED matrix. This is a basic step toward designing user interfaces and data visualization dashboards for your future projects.
Bridging Theory and Practice: Move beyond simulations and learn to build a physical system that generates and processes its own data—a critical skill for any STEM field.
This workshop is ideal for anyone looking to acquire foundational skills for a future in engineering, computer science, or data-driven research, or just for fun to learn about raspberry pi.
