FSOSS - Raspberry Pi Projects Showcase
Contents
What's a Raspberry Pi?
Raspberry Pi's were designed specifically with the classroom in mind. After seeing a decline in the basic computer programming skills within incoming Freshman classes, Eben Upton and fellow Cambridge University colleagues set out to develop a low cost open sources hardware and software platform that would encouraged experimentation and innovation.
The goal of the Raspberry Pi computer is to get students excited about programming again. With a low cost platform and a plethora of open source content, students can learn to code easier than ever.
What are Raspberry Pi's used for?
The short answer to that question is what every you want to use it for, think of the Raspberry Pi as a miniature electronic sandbox.
What can you do with your Pi?
