What is a Raspberry Pi?
The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python. The Raspberry Pi is also capable of doing everything you expect a desktop computer to do, from browsing the internet and playing high-definition video, to creating spreadsheets, word-processing, and gaming. With its easy-to-use interface, portability and versatility, this tiny but mighty computer is the perfect learning tool for any classroom.

Learn How To Code!
The Raspberry Pi is the perfect tool to teach computer programming in a fun, interactive environment. Whether you are a beginner starting with variables, loops and functions, or looking for more advanced projects like 3D graphic programming, building games, networking, scripting, and interfacing with hardware or opening up the world of Minecraft, the affordable Raspberry Pi is a great tool.
Scratch is a visual programming tool which allows the user to create animations and games with a drag-and-drop interface. Create your own computer games, interactive stories, and animations using some programming techniques without actually having to write any code.
Python is a widely used, general-purpose programming language. Favoured by many users around the world due to its simple and clean appearance, it’s a great way to learn and engage in coding regardless of your experience.
