Time 4 Design
We have a new Raspberry Pi collection- Yeah!
Now we need to figure out how to use them. What COMPONENTS are on the PI? Can we share this information with other students?
Using your (WORD) skills, you need to design and create a document that can be included in the PI box. (the box dimensions 235x165).
The link will take you to the IGCSE Syllabus- try to include as many of these in your document.
