Posted on April 4, 2017 by Ross Like the BBC Micro in its day, the Raspberry Pi mini-computer is an accessible way to get children and families into the world of computer hardware and coding/programming. The Cambridge based company works to empower people all over the world through ‘digital making’. Able to solve the problems of today and equipped for the jobs of the future in our increasingly digital world. The computers aren’t very expensive. They only cost around £30 and you can get them working with a cheap mouse and keyboard, and SD card (or microSD card on the latest Raspberry Pi 3), plus any special bits of hardware or software you might need. It lets adults, children and families take on all sorts of computing projects and make them simple and easy to tackle. Many of the projects are complex, but one of the best things about using Raspberry Pi is that there is so much information and open-source content out there for them.
