CamJam EduKit 1 - Starter

The CamJam EduKit features the following components all neatly packaged in a project tin:

• A 400-point breadboard
• 3 LEDs (Red, Yellow and Green)
• A button
• A buzzer
• Resistors and jumper cables

The kit is accompanied by a set of downloadable worksheets that will take you through a series of exercises from writing a simple program in the Python programming language to lighting up LEDs, reading button presses and making a buzzer go beep! Whereas other products come pre-assembled, the CamJam EduKit introduces you to the world of breadboarding and building electronic circuits yourself, which we think is much more exciting!

The CamJam EduKit is compatible with all models of the Raspberry Pi. Please make sure to read the instructions carefully for any notes relevant to your model.

Download the Worksheets

The EduKit 1 worksheets are available in two flavours:

• GPIO Zero - an easy-to-use library for beginners.
• RPi.GPIO - slightly more complicated and longer code.

They also have some un-tested scripts for Scratch available.

Both required Python libraries are pre-installed on the standard Raspbian OS image available from Raspberry Pi.

Please note: all worksheets use Python 3.
