Have you heard the buzz about the Raspberry Pi? This computer (the size of a credit card) has
tremendous capabilities, and the price tag, a mere $35.00! Can you imagine? When you think that at one time computers
occupied building and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and now, the
Raspberry Pi is revolutionizing how we think about personal computing. This computer is being used with middle
school students to help them learn to write code through SCRATCH. The plan is to ultimately transition these
budding code writers to Python and ultimately help launch them as programmers
and engineers.
In reality, the computer, shown above, is not much bigger
than the picture. But the possibilities
are amazing! Below is a link to an
article in the New York Times. Check it out. "A Tiny Computer" This amazing little computer could be used to
access C4K staff development by hooking it to an existing TV, monitor, mouse
and key board. How cool is that.
