“When I first got my hands on a Raspberry Pi early experiments with breadboard and jumper wires were a disaster. I had decided that there probably wasn’t a niche for the Raspberry Pi at KS2 until I got my hands on a set of gPiO interfaces. I now teach physical computing on the Pi throughout my school, starting with children as young as 8 – and they love it!”
