What is Raspberry Pi ?

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.

What you can do with it?

….

Bare minimum hardware requirements� SD Card

We recommend an 8GB class 4 SD card – ideally preinstalled with NOOBS. You can buy a card with NOOBS

pre-installed, or you can download it for free from our downloads page.

� Display and connectivity cables

Any HDMI/DVI monitor or TV should work as a display for the Pi . For best results, use one with HDMI

input, but other connections are available for older devices. Use a standard Ethernet cable for internet

access.

� Keyboard and mouse

Any standard USB keyboard and mouse will work with your Raspberry Pi.

� Power supply

Use a 5V micro USB power supply to power your Raspberry Pi. Be careful that whatever power supply you

use outputs at least 5V; insufficient power will cause your Pi to behave in strange ways.

NOT ESSENTIAL BUT HELPFUL TO HAVE

� Internet connection

To update or download software, we recommend that you connect your Raspberry Pi to the internet

either via and ethernet cable or a wifi adapter.
