What is a Raspberry Pi?

Made by Saladhouse. Sound Design by Marcus Alexander. Voiced by Amy Mather. A VERY big thank you to Sam Alder, and the whole team at Saladhouse!

This is a Raspberry Pi.

It's a credit card sized computer that costs around 25£

designed to teach young people to program

and is capable of doing all kinds of wonderful things.

Back in the 80's, kids had to learn
how to code computer to use them.

And as a result, these kids grew up with
a in-built understanding of how computers work.

Now, we need more programmers than ever before.

So to deal with this problem,

some clever people came up with the Raspberry Pi

to reignite this sparkle.

It runs Linux, a free operating system from a SD
card, just like the one in your digital camera

and it's powered by a USB phone charger.

You just plug in a mouse, and a keyboard, connect to a
TV or a monitor and you are ready to go.

In school, not only, is Raspberry Pi a great
way to learn programming skills as part of ICT.

There are also dozens of cross-curriculum applications

like science

and music

and all over the world, people are experimenting with
Raspberry Pi and attending Raspberry jam events

where people of all ages are learning what
can be done with a Raspberry Pi.

Since the first Raspberry Pi where shipped, we have
seen examples of people using the Pi

in a variety of amazing and interesting projects.

Taking advantage of his size, portability, cost, programmability, and connectability.

So whether you want to learn to make games...

build robots ...

... or even to teach babbage parachute

with Raspberry Pi, the sky the limits!
