Coolest Projects, a world-leading showcase that inspires the next generation of digital creators, is open to young people across the Raspberry Pi community!
Young people come to the event to exhibit the cool ideas they have been working on
Rachel here! I love castles. I really love castles. When I was in primary school I would do projects about castles in my spare time – just for fun. I would make wooden swords and reenact battles with my best friend too – Anyway – This week we came across a fantastic application of Raspberry Pi…

Carrie Anne wasn’t our only new starter on Monday: we’ve also welcomed Dave Honess to the team. Dave will be familiar to many of you as Davespice from our forums, where he’s one of our moderators; he’s also been helping me moderate the comments on this blog for a year or so now, and he’s…
We’re extremely glad to have him, and we’re running out of desks.
Our speakers shared insights into what AI education in schools should look like from the perspective of policy, industry, and young people.
Our goal is to make sure all young people have the skills, knowledge, and confidence
Our aim We are committed to making our websites more accessible and inclusive for everyone. This is an important part of our aim to ensure that everyone who visits a Raspberry Pi Foundation website feels welcome. What we are doing Our efforts to ensure that our websites are accessible and usable to the widest possible…
The guidelines have three levels: A, AA, and AAA.
Learners will take on a larger programming task. They will break the task into chunks and create algorithms for each chunk. This process is known as ‘decomposition’ and is covered further in key stage 2. Learners will also find and fix errors in their algorithms and programs. They will understand this process to be ‘debugging’.
Learning objectives To create and debug a program that I have written I can test
During this lesson learners will use their project designs from the previous lesson to create their projects on-screen in ScratchJr. They will use their project design, including algorithms created in the previous lesson, to make programs for each of their rocket sprites. They will test whether their algorithms are effective when their programs are run.
I can add programming blocks based on my algorithm I can test the programs I have
Learners begin to identify the shapes that are used to make vector drawings. They are able to explain that each element of a vector drawing is called an object. Learners create their own vector drawing by moving, resizing, rotating, and changing the colours of a selection of objects. They also learn how to duplicate the objects to save time.
added to a vector drawing is an object I can move, resize, and rotate objects I have

Coding music on a Raspberry Pi with Sonic Pi has quickly become a great way to learn programming concepts and to pump out some thumping beats. Last year I worked with Dr Sam Aaron, live coder and academic at the University of Cambridge, to teach KS3 pupils text-based programming on Raspberry Pis as part of their…
