If you’ve ever wondered what’s so amazing about these little $35 computers, then wonder no more!
The Raspberry Pi Bake-Off is your chance to showcase your own Raspberry Pi projects and creations – for bragging rights, and for the chance to win a Raspberry Pi!
Hendrix College will host the 2014 Raspberry Pi Bake-Off on Friday, March 14 in the Student Life and Technology Center to showcase projects built using the Raspberry Pi learning computer.
…The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into a TV and a keyboard. It costs around $35 and can be used in electronics projects and for many of the things that a desktop PC does, such as spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also plays high-definition video.
…This is the second year for Hendrix to host the exhibition.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
