A mini computer that aims to get a new generation of children programming and writing software has been launched in the UK – with intial interest crashing the manufacturer’s website. Called the Raspberry Pi and costing just £22, the machine has been created by a research team of volunteers in the UK. The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a UK charity that claims it wants to encourage school children to learn programming skills and write software. It has been six years in the making; the number of things that had to go right for this to happen is enormous. I couldn’t be more pleased. The Raspberry team have said the aim was to make “a BBC Micro for the 21st century”.
