For most humans, reading instructions (and sometimes memorising them), following them one at a time, and keeping track of where they are and what the current state is comes very naturally. We rarely reflect about the details of that process, so it is not surprising that we rarely wonder about the components that perform these tasks in machines. The previous lesson established how the main purpose of computing systems is to execute programs that operate on data. It is now time to introduce learners to the hardware components, i.e. the actual ‘machinery’ that allows computing systems to fulfil this purpose. Learners will discover how all computing systems, regardless of form or capabilities, make use of the same components: a processor, memory, storage, input and output devices, and communication components. They will form a simple, concise picture of what each of these ‘universal’ components does, and how they work together in order to execute programs.

The magnificent Miss Philbin from Geek Gurl Diaries has been having fun with a Raspberry Pi, a thermal printer (the sort that till receipts are printed out on) and a big shiny button. She’s made a little Python fortune-telling box, which prints off geek pronouncements when the button’s pressed. Miss Philbin is the sort of…

Are you an educator who’s passionate about computing and digital making? If so, this is the podcast for you! Join hosts from the Raspberry Pi Foundation as we chat with teachers, researchers, and learners from around the world to discuss the latest research, debate the big questions, and provide practical tips to help you engage and educate young people in computing. We’ll be releasing a new podcast series to coincide with each new issue of the Hello World Magazine to continue the conversation. We’d love to hear from you! As we trial new episode formats, welcome additional hosts, and endeavour to produce regular episodes, we’d really appreciate your honest feedback about what you find informative, engaging, and, most importantly, helpful. Drop us an email on podcast@helloworld.cc and subscribe to the Hello World Magazine for free at http://helloworld.cc

I’m often asked when Picademy, our teacher professional development program, is coming to the United States. It’s been an incredible success within the UK and there’s clearly huge demand for it within the US. Today, we’re happy to announce a new partnership with the Computer History Museum to launch a pilot of Picademy in the…

Last week I ran a short session at Campus London with a roomful of students from local schools. Only one of the students had seen a Raspberry Pi before and only a couple had used a command line interface or seen a computer program. In just over an hour they learned how to set up…
