I've always been interested in technology trying new programs/games, tinking with a few mediocre languages, and been learning a big one for a while now at college. However, I've longed to get into Raspberry Pi's and I wonder where I should start.

Start at the MagPi Magazine there's lots of projects to try. Everything from the MagPi Mag is available as a free download or can be purchased printed on pulped dead trees.

Getting a Raspberry is easy, you need a RPi3B+, an official power supply, an official keyboard & mouse and a HDMI cable to connect it to your TV.

Something like the ModMyPi ultimate kit may be an easy way to get all the parts in a single bundle {Note: I am not affiliated to ModMyPi in any way}

You need

  • the latest Raspberry Pi 3+
  • an microSD card
  • an micro-USB powersupply (2100 mA or more)

Click on the official "Buy now" link here. After that, have a look at the (extensive) materials, worksheets, projects and documentation here:

The Raspberry Pi website is full of materials for teachers, schoolchildren and everybody else who wants to learn programming, physical computing and much more with the Pi :
