  • It's a student society at university, facilitating kids building robots. We basically buy the kit and help them through the basics of programming arduinos, hooking up sensors etc. I bought the Pi's as getting arduino ide on uni PCs is a pain in the dick, so they're going to be setup as mini dev-stations for those students without laptops

  • Good for you. I love the accessibility of cheap kit like Raspberry Pis and Arduinos, and how they are clearly driving a renaissance in coding skills, thereby putting to an end to the sorry era of governments thinking that teaching people how to use MS Office was sufficient for modern life.

  • Absolutely, especially in earlier education. I worked on a project taking BBC microbits into schools and that was fantastic, kids really grasping graphical programming.
