This Saturday on the 28th of April 2018, I went to Coolest Projects UK, organized by Raspberry PI foundation in Here East, Stratford London.It was a long journey and the weather was very cold, but I was very excited to show my project to everyone. The event organizers registered and provided all the participants with a shirt and a lanyard with our name and projects name on them.Then, I was allocated to a table with my name and my project name on.Next to me, was a team of children that had made a Zombie Apocalypse project.                                                                   My Presentation Table and Ninja Shirt There were four categories which included web pages, scratch, hardware and mobile applications.Many children took part in those categories.There were four brilliant Science Shows, I had the chance to attend two of them, hosted by Greg Foot and Neil Monteiro, who were the Science presenters. I also got to see 3D printers, speech to text machines and a camera

Google AIY voicekit

I found about the Google AIY voice kit on MagPi .It included a yellow button and a four daughter plug and a five wire plug , a voice hat , a microphone hat, tow stands to fit in the raspberry pi , the voice hat , and the speaker and two sets of cardboard.The only problem was that I couldn't find it anywhere online. Then one day I found Pimoroni.It was available there.I bought it straight away.Thanks to their very expiditious service I received it in a few days.I was very enthusiastic.I unpacked it .I had to fit the voice hat onto my own raspberry Pi.Then I had to follow the well thought instructions to make the box over the raspberry Pi.Then I had to burn AIY image onto a micro sd card.Burning it wasn't difficult .The only problem was finding time to work on it.I thought about it and decided to do it on Saturday. On Saturday morning I downloaded the apparatus onto the Raspberry Pi.I had to check the speaker and microphone .Then I had to enable a few different services.Then
