When the Raspberry Pi keyboard was announced, we saw a couple of tweets saying “Hmm… I wonder if there’s space for a Raspberry Pi Zero inside…” so, as soon as we got our hands on one, we cracked it open to take a look inside. It turns out that there’s more than enough room, but that was far too easy, so we thought we’d go one step further and put a Raspberry Pi 3 A+in it!

The keyboard case is slanted so the top part of the keyboard, where the keyboard/hub PCB is, has a pretty decent-sized cavity. The left half of this cavity is empty, save for some plastic cross-pieces to provide stability. The height of this cavity just so happens to be the exact height of a Pi 3 A+!

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.
