An Introduction to Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi is a compact, affordable computer designed for educational purposes, enabling kids to learn programming and electronics. Developed by the Raspberry Pi Charitable Foundation, it supports various operating systems and programming languages while offering numerous applications such as media streaming and robotics. The foundation collaborates with partners to create educational resources and encourage usage across multiple subjects beyond computing.
An Introduction to Raspberry Pi
- 1. Raspberry Pi An Introduction EricAndresen SSAB Infrastructure & Engineering Manager December 2012
- 2. Introduction • The RaspberryPi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard, which can be used for many of the things that your average desktop does - spreadsheets, word-processing, games and it also plays high-definition video. • The Raspberry Pi charitable foundation wants to see the device being used by kids all over the world to learn programming and electronics.
- 3. Background • 6+ years •Pi Foundation • Cambridge University • Programmers • Education • Industry support
- 4. Why What made computersaccessible and fun What are the barriers that exist today
- 5. Computing in Schools TheRaspberry Pi charitable foundation is working with partners to get software materials developed, as well as with the open source community. The foundation is also working with partners to use it as a teaching platform for other subjects, including design, art, languages and maths.

- 14. Operating System • Linuxon a bootable SD card • Fedora • Debian • ArchLinux Other pre-rolled projects exist like XMBC Media Center
- 15. Programming • By default,supporting Python as the educational language. • Any language which will compile for ARMv6 can be used with the Raspberry Pi, though; so you’re not limited to using Python. • For primary age SCRATCH game maker is bundled
- 16. Scratch scratch is freefrom MIT .. thanks MIT !
