Birthday CamJam 2024 – Saturday, 2nd March

The first ever Raspberry Pi computer was released 12 years ago, but its birthday was February 29th! So while its 12 years old, this is only the third time we have been able to throw it a proper bumper Birthday Party 🎈🥳

​This CamJam is being hosted at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory (at the William Gates Building) with the support of Raspberry Pi.

Get your tickets to the Jam here! If you would like to join us for workshop(s) (see the list below), you will need to pre-book your tickets separately.
