The Raspberry Pi is a prototype computer designed by game developer David Braben that is intended to stimulate the teaching of basic computer science in schools. The computer is mounted in a package the same size as a USB memory stick, and has a USB port on one end with an HDMI port on the other. The Raspberry Pi provides an ARM processor which is suitable for running Linux for an estimated price of £15 (approx. $25) for a pre-configured system, cheap enough to give to a child to do whatever he or she wants with it. The prototype is part of a venture by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, a charity whose aim is to "promote the study of computer science and related topics, especially at school level, and to put the fun back into learning computing."
