My Project

I want students to understand the basics of computing, and the best way to do this is to build computing devices from parts. Students can program the Raspberry Pi to create custom computing devices. They can make robots, and specific sensor-centered devices, or use it to learn how to code a simple desktop.

A Raspberry Pi and accessories will allow my students to construct what they imagine.

Many of my students have asked to use robots, and this will allow them to build their own. My students are also interested in physical computing and how computers take in input, process, store, and output information or actions.
