- 6. What is it? The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card-sized computer and it’s incredibly affordable. It is a SoC (system on a chip – a single low voltage chip) Does things that a common Desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word processing, browsing the internet, and playing games Used by tinkerers, makers, and electronics enthusiasts for projects that require more than a basic microcontroller (such asArduino devices).
- 7. History The RaspberryPi Foundation is a charity founded in 2009 by Eben Upton to promote the study of basic computer science in schools. Originally designed to run Python (a programming language and framework) (that’s where ”Pi” comes from). Was to help spur the use of more CS students and learning the tools of the 21st Century Kids today didn’t experience the struggles of early computing; when there was some level of coding and scripting required to actually run the OS. By understanding how computers work, you can solve more problems using computers with a basic foundation. Over 11 Million Raspberry Pi’s has been sold since November 2016!

Cool Applications within Raspbian Sonic-Pi Sonic Pi isan open-source programming environment, designed for creating new sounds with code in a live coding environment; it was developed by Dr Sam Aaron at the University of Cambridge. He uses the software to perform live with his band. This resource will help get you started with the basics of Sonic Pi so that you can code your own music.
- 33. Cool Applications within Raspbian Scratch Scratch is avisual programming tool which allows the user to create animations and games with a drag-and-drop interface. It allows you to create your own computer games, interactive stories, and animations using some programming techniques without actually having to write code
- 34. Cool Applications within Raspbian Minecraft Minecraft is apopular sandbox open world building game. A free version of Minecraft is available for the Raspberry Pi; it also comes with a programming interface.This means you can write commands and scripts in Python code to build things in the game automatically. It's a great way to learn Python!
