Ben Nuttall presents on using Raspberry Pi for science education. He discusses his background working with Raspberry Pi and the Raspberry Pi Foundation. The Raspberry Pi is a $35 single board computer used for programming, computational thinking, robotics, and science projects like microscopy, telescopy, and weather balloons. It aims to make programming and computing concepts easier to learn through abstractions, libraries, tutorials, and example projects.
