Join us on March 14th to celebrate Raspberry Pi Day in the Senate House MakerSpace!

Are you curious about AI or about the Raspberry Pi? Come along to explore the fundamentals of both: no prior knowledge or experience needed!

Raspberry Pi is a series of small single-board computers used all over the world for teaching and learning programming, and many other things.

The Raspberry Pi improved the accessibility of AI by providing a low-cost, user-friendly platform for experimentation, particularly through its ability to run AI models on a small, affordable device, opening up opportunities for education, research and DIY projects around AI.

Leveraging the Raspberry Pi’s capabilities and in celebration of Pi Day 2025, the Digital Humanities Research Hub in the School of Advanced Study, in collaboration with Cambridge Digital Humanities, are hosting an interactive exhibition titled: Whose bias? Demystifying human and machine interactions in Machine Learning

While machine learning promises powerful capabilities, it also comes with significant challenges—one of the most discussed being bias embedded in AI systems. But what is bias in this context, and where does it come from?

This exhibition turns the machine learning process into physical reality: through interactions between human and machine and by training your own AI models, you will foster a deeper understanding of, and have conversations about, biases at play in machine learning, and how those manifest in AI applications.

The exhibition will run guided tours at 11:00AM, 12:00PM, 1:00PM, 2:00PM and 3:00PM. Please select a time slot when booking.

No prior technical knowledge or coding skills are needed to participate in this interactive exhibition, only curiosity required!
