The Raspberry Pi comes as 45-gram open board that fits in the palm of your hand. It is equipped with various ports so you can plug in critical components that don’t come with it, such as a monitor and keyboard. (Raspberry Pi Foundation) An ultra-cheap computer with made-in-Canada software is launching next week with the goal of rekindling children’s interest in computer programming. Two models of the Raspberry Pi, which will sell for $25 and $35 respectively, are expected to begin shipping next week, said Eben Upton, executive director of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, the U.K.-based charity developing the computer.
