Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi is a very successful computer on a board aimed at new users of computers who want a very low cost way to start using computers.
The department now regularly uses these boards for teaching and projects - in the past having to develop our own platforms to teach specific aspects of the course.
The Raspberry Pi shown in the exhibition is the least powerful Raspberry Pi sold - the Raspberry Pi Model 1A. It’s the second model of Pi sold, the first being the model 1 B in February 2012.
