Raspberry Pi Foundation annual review #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
The 2015 Raspberry Pi Foundation Annual Review is out now! Download your free copy here.
The Raspberry Pi Foundation was established in 2008 as a UK-based charity with the purpose “to further the advancement of education of adults and children, particularly in the field of computers, computer science, and related subjects”.
As a charity, we thoroughly review our activities every year, and publish the results so people can find out what we have achieved.
ANNUAL REVIEW 2015
2015 was a big year for the Raspberry Pi Foundation. We expanded our educational programmes, released two new computers, and started our own publishing department. We also:
Were joined by new Foundation CEO Philip Colligan
Developed a new strategy to clarify our mission
Merged with Code Club to help get even more young children interested in computing
Put two Raspberry Pi computers in space, running code written by schoolchildren
Published ‘The MagPi’ magazine in print for the first time, and gave away a fully functional computer on the cover
Explored how computing can be a creative discipline in educational programmes for parents and young people
Trained hundreds of teachers across the UK to become creative and well informed in computing and digital making with their students
Supported many amazing projects and events created by people from our community, bringing people together through digital making
Each Friday is PiDay here at Adafruit! Be sure to check out our posts, tutorials and new Raspberry Pi related products. Adafruit has the largest and best selection of Raspberry Pi accessories and all the code & tutorials to get you up and running in no time!
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
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.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
