Dear Parents,

Thank you for your interest in our Machine Learning in Python With Raspberry Pi & Sensors program. In this online live course, students will program in Python to control various electronic modules that connect to Raspberry Pi including LEDs,  buzzers, servos, ultrasonic sensors, IR sensors, and more using machine learning models. This program is for intermediate to advanced students who had at least 10 hours of Python experience and are new to programming on the Raspberry Pi. This class requires a lot of hands-on experience, and can be quite challenge to some young students. It may also require some involvement from parents, particularly when setting up the Raspberry Pi operating system. Some students are able to complete the setup independently, while others may need assistance with these steps. Please communicate with your learner before enrolling in this class. To prepare, please purchase the hardware listed in the Materials section and Learner Supply List one week before the first class to allow time for shipping. 

For our lessons, students will need to install our prepared Raspberry Pi OS image which has been specifically configured for our courses. It contains the necessary files and settings, and has been tested thoroughly with every lesson to ensure everyone can be successful with the projects. Our environment also features a new simplified headless setup method which allows you to enter WiFi settings directly on your Raspberry Pi from any device. We require students to use VNC Viewer to access the Raspberry Pi desktop so that instructors are able to assist with programming. If students prefer to use a separate monitor and keyboard, they may do so in addition to connecting through VNC. To get started, please watch the setup video.
