Based in the UK, the Raspberry Pi Foundation (registered educational charity number 1129409) aims to accelerate the education and improve the skills of children and adults in computer science, programming and related subjects. By introducing the credit-card sized Raspberry Pi, a low cost, powerful and easily accessible computer capable of running many programing languages including Scratch and Python, the Foundation has brought coding to a whole new generation of hackers, makers and electronics engineers.

From browsing the internet to playing HD video the Raspberry Pi does everything you would expect a desktop computer to do. Manufactured in the UK under license by RS Components the Raspberry Pi comes in a number of form factors, from the powerful Raspberry Pi Model B plus for any design project, to the Compute Module, with a small form factor and standard DDR2 Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module (SODIMM) connector, ideal for industrial and Pi-powered Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) applications.
