DESCRIPTION
Use this engaging project kit to build a mini-computer and program it to make your own interactive, electronic gadgets and games!
The Raspberry Pi Kit provides a hands-on look at the inner workings of a computer by letting you build and program one yourself. Powered by the Raspberry Pi 3 model B+, a credit card-sized computer that will serve as the “brain” for all of your electronic gadgets, this complete starter kit is one of the best Raspberry Pi kits around; it's an educational gadget and gaming kit ideally suited for novices or programming "noobs", but is also powerful enough to grow with your advancing abilities and ideas!
The “all in one” reusable, electronic components in this Raspberry Pi Project Kit allow you to explore, build, and personalize any of the Science Buddies projects - including an electronic drum set, an interactive robot, smart art, and a variety of others.
It’s easy to get started with this Raspberry Pi Starter Kit:
- Step-by-step illustrated project instructions, including video tutorials, provide on-screen guidance as you work on DIY projects
- Intro video walks you through the set up of the Raspberry Pi 3B+ so you can start designing, creating, and playing in under 30 minutes
- Circuit-building skills and programming with Scratch are taught as you go — no previous experience needed
- 8 fun projects, each designed to teach a different skill, so your knowledge grows with each new gadget and game that you build
We know you will catch on quickly, so we made sure the Raspberry Pi kit is compatible with Python, a widely used, more advanced programming language. Once you are ready for a bigger challenge, the included SD card comes preloaded with Python; the only thing missing is your big idea!
