RASPBERRY PI FOUNDATION

AV Transformation for Learning & Collaboration Spaces

Cambridge, UK

Case Studies


Introduction

#SwitchOnthepossibilities

How can... AV infrastructure support the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s mission to help people everywhere access computing and digital making?


Headquarters + Global Charity To reverse the decline in the number of students applying for Computer Science at university and in their level of skill, Raspberry Pi Foundation was founded to promote the study of basic computer science in schools. They have also developed the low-cost, single-board computer called the ‘Raspberry Pi’, the UK's best-selling PC of all time. Raspberry Pi Foundation’s HQ is home to a multi-purpose divisible space, designed and developed for teamwork and collaboration, for corporate functions as well initiatives of the Foundation. Code Club and Raspberry Jam sessions The Raspberry Pi Foundation supports Raspberry Jams, social events held all over the world where people can come together to share their knowledge, learn new things and meet other Pi fans. It also runs Code Club, a global network of volunteers and educators who run free coding clubs for children aged 9-13.

Divisible Live Events & Collaboration Space The brief required us to provide secure, virtual collaboration infrastructure for one large space, which is divisible into two spaces when required for small groups or to run concurrent programs simultaneously. The primary use of the space is for Code Club and Raspberry Jam attended by children, which demands a simple yet robust solution. One end can be used as a boardroom for general meetings using Google Hangout hardware. Excellent audio quality was one of the prime expectations. The whole space functions as one large live-conferencing venue for large gatherings and all-staff meetings connecting UK and international Raspberry Pi Foundation sites.


The divisible room is equipped to function as one large space or two independently operable spaces as required.

“The service we received from Snelling was simply first class. From establishing their understanding of our requirements to the design and installation, their entire process was a testament to their experience and in-depth knowledge.

At every stage, the exceptional staff delivered support that went above and beyond and made us feel that they were as concerned about achieving a successful outcome as we were. We can't recommend Snelling Business Systems highly enough”.

Kamila Hughes, IT Manager Raspberry Pi Foundation


In plain speak, we are an international supplier of integrated audio-visual systems, environments, and communications technology. We design, integrate, install and maintain robust AV systems and environments. But 'how' we do it isn’t quite so plain. Our roots go back to 1954 when Roy Snelling started his business selling and servicing Television and Radio sets in the early days of commercial broadcasts. As more and more Television and Radio sets found a place in living rooms, Roy witnessed a major transformation – an entirely new medium for people to interact, engage and consume information. The same purpose for which we continue to design and build Audio Visual systems and environments. We have come a long way. “Snellings” quickly grew into a household name with Roy’s steadfast commitment to an unmatched retail experience – ‘customer first’ – from the moment they walk in the door to a lifelong relationship. As we grew and evolved, we nurtured this belief in our internal culture – “customer first”, as well as our design/engineering philosophy – “Audio Visual Excellence. Operational Simplicity”. Spot an opportunity. Respond to Change. Technology will evolve. New platforms will emerge, and your needs will transform. Our culture allows us the flexibility to adapt and respond – to keep pace with transformation and change in our industry; to ensure our advice always keeps you ahead of the curve, and your competition. We deliver all aspects of audio visual integration from design to the supply, installation and on-going maintenance - all backed by a service ethic, which continues to carry the Snelling signature of quality. Based in London and Norwich, we have maintained our portfolio of major clients and diverse projects across corporate, higher education, public sector, defence and aerospace, retail, medical and healthcare, leisure and hospitality, museums and attractions, and niche specifications.
