(https://www.raspberrypi.org/)
The Raspberry Pi Foundation works to put the power of digital making into the hands of people all over the world, so they are capable of understanding and shaping our increasingly digital world, able to solve the problems that matter to them, and equipped for the jobs of the future.
We provide low-cost, high-performance computers that people use to learn, solve problems and have fun. We provide outreach and education to help more people access computing and digital making. We develop free resources to help people learn about computing and how to make things with computers, and train educators who can guide other people to learn.

Raspberry Pi is a dynamic microcontroller that is capable of just about anything a computer is. It runs with the Python programming language, and is a great way to learn about hardware hacking and coding. Check out these awesome Instructables to inspire your Raspberry Pi Project.
5 of the Best: Raspberry Pi ProjectsThe original Raspberry Pi first went on sale on 29 February, four years ago. The single-board computer was developed to promote the teaching of basic computer science in schools, but it immediately won over the hearts of gadgeteers and tech tinkerers alike.
Over the years, Pi enthusiasts have worked hard, finding increasingly clever uses for the credit card-sized computing marvel, turning it into all sorts since its launch.
As the fourth anniversary is upon us, it feels like the time is right to show you how to do some magical things with your own Raspberry Pi (for all those partial to a bit of DIY gadgetry).
These are our nine favourite projects that prove that this little computer isn’t just for school work and certainly isn’t just for kids…

The Raspberry Pi is an inexpensive programmable credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It can be used for many of the things that your PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and playing games, but its real purpose is to inspire children (and adults) to learn how to program. Over five million Raspberry Pis have been sold worldwide, so far!
Raspberry Pi 3 in easy steps starts with the basic components you ll need, setting up the system and logging into the console. Then, in easy steps, it introduces you to the Raspbian operating system that is optimized for the Raspberry Pi. You’ll learn how to customize the look and feel of your system, how to navigate the file system, and how to use the powerful system shell to make things happen for you. The new GPIO interface is fully described, and the new NOOBS installer is also described for setup.
Raspberry Pi 3 in easy steps enables complete beginners to create their very own computer programs with the Scratch visual programming environment. It also instructs programming in the high-level (human-readable) Python programming language language, which is processed by the Python interpreter to produce results fast. Examples demonstrate how to use the included Python pygame module, to make your own games, and how to use the included ‘Tkinter module to create graphical windowed apps.
Raspberry Pi 3 in easy steps also illustrates how to control electrical input and output on the Raspberry Pi header from Python scripts, including lighting a lamp, adding more buttons and controlling projects. With the knowledge gained from this book the reader can confidently advance to any future electronic Raspberry Pi project or other explore other programming environments.
Covers the latest versions of Python.
