INTERVIEW
The Raspberry Pi Foundation is the brainchild of Eben Upton and his colleagues at the University of Cambridge in the UK. The foundation is a non-profit that aimed to produce a remarkably inexpensive, credit card-sized computer--the Raspberry Pi. This computer’s simplicity allows it to be a great teaching tool for children and hobbyists alike and is powerful enough to be featured in industrial applications and personal projects. Since its initial release, the Raspberry Pi has taken the computing industry by storm, selling millions of units in its first year. Countless blogs, magazines, and videos have been created to showcase Raspberry Pi projects, potential applications, and computer science lesson plans. We spoke with Eben Upton about the inspiration behind the Raspberry Pi, some of his favorite projects using the Pi, and the computer’s revolutionary impact on computer science education.
