Maddie and Greg go live with computers!

This Saturday morning, our friends Maddie Moate and Greg Foot will be live at The Centre for Computing History for a computing- and retro gaming-inspired episode of their show Let’s Go Live, and you can tune in from 10am to join the fun.

Retro gaming and computer funtimes

Saturday’s show will be a retro feast of vintage video games, and will answer questions such as ‘What is a computer?’ and ‘How do computers work?’. As always, Maddie and Greg have a number of activities planned, including designing pixel art and going on a tech safari! They’re also extremely excited to step inside a giant computer and try to put it back together!

Let’s Go Live

Let’s Go Live is a family science show that Maddie and Greg began on day 1 of lockdown to help with the challenge of homeschooling. Since then, Maddie and Greg have hosted 50 live shows from their ‘spare room studio’ and caught the attention of millions of families across the world who enjoy tuning into their daily dose of fun, facts, and science activities.

After a short break, the two are now back for the summer holidays and plan to make Let’s Go Live bigger and better than ever by bringing you live shows from unique locations across the UK — a new venue each week!

Maddie and Greg will be live on Facebook and YouTube, and we recommend subscribing to Maddie’s channel to ensure you never miss an episode.

Do you know: All Maddie’s T-shirt merch is made in a factory run by Raspberry Pis? Here’s her video about her new line of T-shirts, and here’s our video about the factory.

But I want more!

We don’t blame you! If you’ve already been following Maddie and Greg on their Let’s Go Live journey throughout lockdown, and you’re looking for more fun online content to entertain you and your family, look no further than the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s Digital Making at Home:

Digital Making at Home

Each week, we share a themed code-along video and host a live stream to inspire families to have fun with coding and digital making at home! Join Christina, Marc, Mr C and their host of special guests as they work their way through our great coding activities. This week, the Digital Making at Home team has been exploring outer space, and they show you how to use Scratch and Python code to race the International Space Station, animate astronauts, and defy gravity.

And our next theme for Digital Making at Home — out tomorrow just when Let’s Go Live finishes — is retro games!

You’ll find all the episodes of Digital Making at Home on our website — new ones are added every Saturday morning. And on the website, you can also tune into our weekly code-along live stream every Wednesday at 2pm BST!
