Brett White on the Future of Tech Education in West Virginia and Raspberry Jam

In this episode of the Kanawha Valley Hustlers podcast, I talk with Brett White about the seventh annual Raspberry Jam, happening March 15, 2025, at the University of Charleston. Brett explains that the event is focused on the Raspberry Pi, a small, affordable computer used for learning programming, Linux, and electronics. This is the only Raspberry Jam in West Virginia, and it gives attendees a chance to network with the growing tech community. The event is open to all ages, and people can drop in at any time. Brett introduces new classes, including building a website with a Raspberry Pi and creating a game similar to Operation. He also reveals this year’s prizes, including a Raspberry Pi 500, several Raspberry Pi kits, a Makey Makey controller kit, and a Creality Ender 3 V3 3D printer, with sponsors providing accessories to make them ready to use. The event is a great opportunity for students and beginners to explore technology. I’ll share links with more details, and I encourage everyone to check it out. https://lu.ma/vd6agtgv
