We had our first Raspberry Pi for beginners workshop of the year this Tuesday! We all had a great time getting to know the Raspberry Pi platform and how it can be used as a Games Console, Media Centre or as a Computer. After we had the setup basics down we explored physical computing through coding the Raspberry Pi GPIO to create a PWM dimmable LED light.

If you want to learn some new maker skills or just hone your existing skills, come along to our&nbsp;[**local workshops**](https://core-electronics.com.au/workshops.html)&nbsp;or if you're not a local to Newcastle, you can still join in the fun with our&nbsp;[**online workshops**](https://core-electronics.com.au/courses)&nbsp;and&nbsp;[**tutorials**](https://core-electronics.com.au/tutorials).
