The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python. It’s capable of doing everything you’d expect a desktop computer to do, from browsing the internet and playing high-definition video, to making spreadsheets, word-processing, and playing games.The Raspberry Pi is a compact computer, roughly the size of a credit card, designed to be affordable. It can be connected to a computer monitor or TV and used with a standard keyboard and mouse. This versatile device provides an excellent platform for people of all ages to delve into the world of computing and learn programming languages like Scratch and Python.Despite its small size, the Raspberry Pi is highly capable and can perform all the typical functions expected from a desktop computer. It enables users to browse the internet, play high-definition videos, create spreadsheets, process words, and even play games.What sets the Raspberry Pi apart is its ability to interact with the external environment. It has been employed in various digital maker projects worldwide, ranging from music machines and parent detectors to weather stations and tweeting birdhouses equipped with infrared cameras. Our vision is to encourage children across the globe to utilize the Raspberry Pi as a tool for programming education and gaining a deeper understanding of computer functionality.What’s more, the Raspberry Pi has the ability to interact with the outside world, and has been used in a wide array of digital maker projects, from music machines and parent detectors to weather stations and tweeting birdhouses with infra-red cameras. We want to see the Raspberry Pi being used by kids all over the world to learn to program and understand how computers work.RASPBERRY PI FOUNDATION
