Resource description
https://www.raspberrypi.com/ – The Raspberry Pi is a series of compact, affordable single-board computers developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation to promote computer science education and innovation. First released in 2012, these versatile devices feature ARM-based processors, GPIO pins for hardware interfacing, and support for various operating systems like Raspberry Pi OS. Equipped with USB ports, HDMI, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi (in later models), Raspberry Pi computers are used for a wide range of applications, from basic programming and educational projects to home automation, robotics, and IoT solutions. Their affordability and adaptability have made them popular among hobbyists, educators, and professionals worldwide. Raspberry Pi computers are suitable for many types of robot projects, and tailored solutions for the SEN students could be built around them.
