RASPBERRY PI

Small single-board computers (SBCs) known as Raspberry Pi (/pa/) were created in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in collaboration with Broadcom. The initial focus of the Raspberry Pi project was to encourage the study of fundamental computer science in classrooms and in underdeveloped nations. The initial model sold outside of its intended market for applications like robotics because it was more widely used than planned. Because of its inexpensive cost, versatility, and open design, it is frequently utilised in numerous fields, including weather monitoring. Due to its support of the HDMI and USB standards, computer and electrical enthusiasts frequently utilise it.

Eben Upton was appointed CEO of Raspberry Pi Trading by the Raspberry Pi Foundation following the introduction of the second board type, and given the task of developing technologies. The Foundation was repurposed as an educational nonprofit to support the introduction of fundamental computer science curricula in classrooms and underdeveloped nations. While some Pis are produced in China and Japan, the majority are produced in a Sony plant in Pencoed, Wales.
