So what is a Raspberry Pi? You might have heard that it’s a little computer that can help kids learn how to program.

• But what exactly is it?
• How you use it?
• Is it the right thing for your project?
• How is it different to other boards?

In this session, we’ll give a simple overview of:
1. What a Raspberry Pi is
2. What features it has and how you can use them
3. What you need to know to get your started with your Pi

>> Meeting Point #1: Wan Chai North Temporary Public Transport Interchange – Hong Kong Island – (https://goo.gl/maps/vUYBc5aVyvv)
We will take the first bus leaving on or after 10:00am to Lok Ma Chau with or without you. If you’re not familiar with the meeting point, plan to arrive early and…

Date / Time: Wed 10 Oct, 7-9pm

Mostly covered up by pretty cases, virtually all of today’s technology depends on some kind of electric circuitry.
In our soldering workshop we decrease the distance between the participant and the circuit. You will solder the components – including an LED, battery, switch and resistors and bring life to the board.

Workshop fee + electronic components: 150 HKD.

Date/Time: Wed Sept 12, 7-9:30pm

In a 2hr session, you’ll learn basic electronics concepts in a hands-on way – building a project that flashes, beeps and buzzes! No electronics or programming experience required. Take home an Arduino-style board and components to continue your experiments.

Fee – HKD 250

Date / Time: Wednesday, September 5, 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM

Use some very basic electronics knowledge and skills to create your very own light-up earrings, pendant or brooch using LEDs. Use (or learn on-the-spot) some basic soldering skills to create a bright, fun accessory.

Important details
Fee: 150 HKD per attendee, 75 HKD for Dim Sum Labs members

Date / Time: Tuesday, September 4, 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is an open-source worldwide mapping platform, built by community volunteer geographers. Started 14 years ago, the project now covers the whole planet, often in incredible detail. Now with over 1 million active contributors, OpenStreetMap is used on thousands of sites and apps, including for hiking, cycling, humanitarian projects, public transport and much more.

In this talk, Andy Allan will give a brief insight into…

Date / Time: Thursday, August 30, 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM

About Hype Explainers – Lots of techy buzz words, hypes, fashions can be confusing. In this series, we will explain things and take the magic out of hypes in the hope to see the real underlying value that is often so hard to see if watching mainstream and corporate news.

In these one-hour sessions, we aim to explain hyped concepts differently – ensuring you have a solid foundations so you gain actual new insights. We leave no-one behind, and…

During this week’s Hackjam, we’ll have a brief overview and discussion about the recent “foreshadow” intel CPU vulnerability – what is it, how’s it being exploited and how can you protect yourself.

Attendance is free, donations appreciated.

Join us, bring any old broken electronics, and train your creativity and skills.

After our Take-apart event in July, have more fun and turn components into something else.

We will propose some ideas but also invite everyone to challenge what has already been done.

The DSL team’s skills and tools will be there to help in the process.

• Fee:   Donation for the Tools, Space and Components used
• Date:   18th of August 2018
• Time:   14:00 till 17:00
