I get a phone call from the MIL asking if my 7 year old would like Raspberry Pi for his birthday. I have no idea what she is talking about. She's in the UK and Feb 28 apparently a new computer for kids launched, Raspberry Pi for $35 (22 BPS), inventory sold out in 10 minutes.
I did some digging and it looks like the concept is out of TO's Seneca College but it's been adopted by Univ. of Cambridge in the UK. Anyone heard or know anything about the Raspberry Pi. I believe it's just an open board - how does it work? Does it plug into the USB of a PC/Mac or do you need a monitor, keyboard etc? All I know is it's developed to helk kids learn to program and my son wants one.
Thanks!
