Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) is dedicated to supporting our maker community in their creative process by providing shared space, shared tools, materials and a knowledge base to turn their ideas into reality.

We have on hand several Raspberry Pi boards, of various models, as well as other computers throughout our space for all our members to use (without any additional required training).

use the GUI or the command: sudo shutdown -h now
(just pulling the plug may cause memory card corruption.)
