Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi is a small, low cost computer designed for schools. This website contains resources for using, teaching and learning with the Raspberry Pi, including teaching units, projects for students, links to online communities, discussion forums and help resources. The many teaching and learning resources have an emphasis on learning about programming. Some of the activities include using Scratch and cardboard to make a robot, using Python and the twitter API to live stream tweets, using GPIOs and a programming language to make weather sensors. All activities assume students have access to a Raspberry Pi.
