The Raspberry Pi was originally introduced as a low-cost device to improve programming skills and computer hardware understanding at the pre-university level. Its' creators recognized that. Although today’s students are prevalent tech users, many do not understand the technology running their iPads, smartphones and gaming consoles. This strong foundation in teaching makes the Raspberry Pi one of the most user-friendly and accessible microcomputers on the market. Therefore, I like to teach this microcomputer to my students in order to give them an idea of how computers work and what they can do with them. Teaching a bunch of tech-savvy kids how to code may sound like a daunting task, but the Raspberry Pi Foundation has a lot of great resources to help my students learn and they’re free.
