Celebrate the Raspberry Pi Birthday with element14!

image

Are you a Raspberry Pi Fan or Enthusiast?  Will you be in Chicago, Illinois (USA) or Leeds, England (UK) on Monday, February 29th?

 

If you answered "Yes" to both of these questions, we'd like to invite you to join the element14 team in celebrating Raspberry Pi's 4th birthday.

 

The element14 team will make stops in Chicago and Leeds to celebrate with Pi fans.  Be one of the first 50 attendees that show up at each location to celebrate and take a photo with us to get your hands on a goodie bag.

 

We'll even have some Raspberry Pi's to give away! Once the goodie bags and giveaways are gone, so are we, so try and get there at start time! 

 

Not able to make it to Chicago or Leeds on the 29th? 

You can still join in on the fun from your computer, phone or tablet by following us on our social media channels! We'll be Tweeting and posting on Facebook all day, where we'll also be giving away Raspberry Pi's to those who share the best photos of themselves with their Raspberry Pi's and Raspberry Pi projects to help us celebrate! (See Terms & Conditions)

    Shortly after the announcement, the MCM site started to have spotty response.  Could be the orders are taxing the system a bit image success has its price.

    Well done! image
