In Praise of the Raspberry Pi

March 31st, 2014 · No Comments

Praising the most successful education project in the history of man: the Raspberry Pi. Nobel Prize? Why not?

Two years ago the Raspberry Pi was launched. 2.5 million units later, it is still going. Two years is a long time in technology—a very long time. (Wikipedia has a good article on the Raspberry Pi.)

The idea was simple:

build a programmable computer that any school could afford to buy.

The schools would be able to teach computer programming. The price: $25.

It worked. It has worked better than any education project I can recall. Hooray for the guys who did this. This is Nobel Prize worthy.
