The Raspberry Pi is a series of small single-board computers developed in the United Kingdom by the Raspberry Pi Foundation to promote teaching of basic computer science in schools and in developing countries. (Wikipedia)
We will use the Raspberry PI to extend our programming skills in Python, learn Linux, Physical Computing, and Scripting.
Realizing that we need to add to our Sense Hat collection, these projects can still proceed as there is a virtual sense hat built into the Raspberry PI menu. See the photo attached below for this. Also, students can visit Trinket which also has an emulator.
