Raspberry Pi, Arduino/Microcontrollers and CAD Club Night

Makespace (Cambridge, UK) Tuesday nights in the Makespace Classroom are Raspberry Pi, Arduino/Micro-controllers and CAD Club meet-ups. Come and join fellow coding and computer aided design enthusiasts for an informal evening of tinkering with tech. Help is on hand to assist you with any problems. Bring along a project you're working on or need help with. We typically have a regular group of Raspberry Pi and Pico experts to help you if you need it. SOLIDWORKS and FreeCAD help is also on hand. **CASTEM Club** is a hands-on STEM club for children and young people. We meet regularly at Makespace and run excit--ing projects involving Raspberry Pi, robotics, rocketry, mini satellites (CanSAT), CAD, and more. Our sessions are aligned with the Pi and CAD club, offering a creative space to explore tech and engineering. Come along to one of our meetups to see what we do and how you can get involved—whether you're a curious student, parent, or potential volunteer. Find out more at: [https://castem.club](https://castem.club/) This is a Makespace community outreach event, so non-members are welcome. Just sign up on the meet-up and ring the 'Pi/CAD Club' door bell which will be hanging on the Makespace outside door on the night.
