In the past I have talked to crowds of hundreds at Raspberry Jam events, workshops and even the worldwide Raspberry Jamboree in 2014. These speeches have taken me from Manchester to the University of Cambridge's Computer Laboratory - but was I prepared for what I was invited to on the 2nd of December 2015? Quite simply not!
ARM is one of the world's largest technology companies - a semiconductor and software design organisation that is responsible for the creation of over 70 billion computer chips. Spun out of Acorn Computers (1980s) and headquartered in Cambridge, ARM ships products that are found in devices from the iPhone to HP printers. Recently, they celebrated 25 years of operation and it was an incredible honour to be invited to give a guest speech to almost 1,500 ARM employees (half of their staff!) about my work, The Raspberry Pi Guy, tackling STEM and the next 25 years. I have been very lucky to develop a close relationship with ARM and watch the video to see what I had to say.
Over a 1000+ faces looking at you is quite the experience!
ARM rarely releases internal footage such as this and I am grateful for the all the work that has been done to get this put up on the internet! Thanks especially to Sasha Watson, Neha Amlani, Simon Humphrey, Stephanie Usher, James McNiven, Jonny Austin and Jordan Mcintyre.

![The Centre for Computing History...
This is not a usual post for me but I thought that all of you guys should see it! Recently The Centre for Computing History has moved to Cambridge and I had the pleasure of going there on Saturday: it surpassed my wildest expectations! Everywhere you look there are working computers that you can use, from Apple ][s to Raspberry Pis and BBC Micros. I could lose myself for hours just playing on the old games consoles, which of you remember the Atari 2600 or the NES? Own up?! The place is filled with history and it is beautifully set up and maintained: I liked it so much that I am now a volunteer! You can hear much more about the museum at there website here:

The museum is located in Cambridge UK but even if you have to trek 100 miles to see it you will not be disappointed! I took my brother (who has no interest whatsoever in computers and told me that the whole experience would be borrrrinnngg) and we had trouble dragging him out of there...
Simply put: just go!
