What's Scrapyard Cambridge?

Scrapyard Cambridge, held at the Raspberry Pi Foundation, is a hackathon for high schoolers happening in Cambridge, where you can make the stupidest things you can think of! Anything, from a lamp that flashes faster the slower you type, to those ideas that you wouldn't dare to consider to be useful, goes at Scrapyard. No matter your experience, Scrapyard Cambridge needs you and your scrappy ideas!
