Education Miniconf Closing Keynote
summary
Raspberry Pi appears as a practical classroom solution: a $35 computer with GPIO and Sense HAT, free Creative Commons lesson plans, and a community that runs Pi Academy and certifies over 200 teachers trained. Measured outcomes look concrete — 97.5% say they will use Pi in class and 98.8% will share training — plus hardware projects (weather‑station kits, Sonic Pi music coding, PyGame Zero, rp.gpio) and even two Raspberry Pis on the ISS that actually run student code.
