Introduction

We're excited that you are joining us on March 10, 2018 to dive into the wonders of the Raspberry Pi Zero W, the tiniest Raspberry Pi.

• In Part 1 of this workshop, we're going to set up a web application that can take a picture using our Pi with the click of a button.
• In Part 2, we will write code to detect motion using the camera connected to the Pi.

To make the workshop run as smoothly as possible, you'll need to complete the prework steps ahead of time.

Overview

We're going to cover a lot of ground in this workshop. 🎉

By the end, you'll have your very own Pi Zero and camera to take home, and you'll know:

Topic	Workshop Section
1. How to program your Pi	Part 1
2. How to communicate with your Pi from a web app	Part 1
3. How to use your Pi's camera to detect motion	Part 2
3. How to extend the application we build together	Part 2

Important: Make sure you do the prework before proceeding to Part 1 or Part 2.
