Creative lab equipment - Central Library.

1 Raspberry Pi starter kit.

The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python. It’s capable of doing everything you’d expect a desktop computer to do, from browsing the internet and playing high-definition video, to making spreadsheets, word-processing, and playing games. What’s more, the Raspberry Pi has the ability to interact with the outside world, and has been used in a wide array of digital maker projects, from music machines and parent detectors to weather stations and tweeting birdhouses with infra-red cameras. We want to see the Raspberry Pi being used by kids all over the world to learn to program and understand how computers work.

It's a miniature ARM-based PC which can be used for many of the tasks that a desktop PC carries out, including spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It is also capable of playing High-Definition video. This STARTER KIT Consists of: Raspberry Pi 512Mb Model B board with Clear two piece case, with board mounts, rubber feet and all connections available. 4GB SD Card pre-loaded with the Debian Squeeze Linux operating system for the Raspberry Pi 5V 1A micro USB power supply to power your Raspberry Pi board.
