Work through a mix of amazing robotic projects using the Raspberry Pi Zero or the Raspberry Pi 3
Jon Witts has been working within the IT industry since 2002 and specifically
within Educational IT since 2004. He was introduced to Linux back in 2001 through his
collaboration with two German artists who were visiting the arts organisation he was then
working with. Having studied Fine Arts and Educational Technology and sought to innovate with
open and accessible digital technologies within his creative practice, Jon is happiest when
deconstructing technology and finding its limits. Jon has embedded within his school the use of
Raspberry Pi computers, as an integral part of the delivery of the school's Computer Science
curriculum as well as to run various school clubs and projects. Jon is a Raspberry Pi Certified
Educator and also helps to organise and run the Hull Raspberry Jam events. I would like to thank
my wife, Sally and our three daughters for putting up with all the cables and compoents around
the house, and not least for being so tolerant of the need to dodge the robots racing round the
kitchen floor! Grimmett Richard :
Richard Grimmett has more fun that should be allowed working on robotics projects while teaching Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at Brigham Young University Idaho. He has a Bachelors and Masters degree in Electrical Engineering and a PhD in Leadership Studies. He also has 26 years of experience in the Radar and Telecommunications industries, and even has one of the original brick phones. He has written books on the basics of using the BeagleBone Black for robotics projects, and another for the Raspberry PI and yet another for the Arduino.
