Pi Day

 


I don't really like math, but I do love pie!

Mmm, raspberry pi?

It is a single-board computer designed to teach programming skills, build hardware projects, do home automation, and explore industrial applications of computer technology.  The Raspberry Pi Foundation wanted to bridge the gap for students who lack access to advanced technology. They promote the study of basic computer science, and sales from the device fund charitable work that promotes the use of technology in education and developing countries.
