The Raspberry Pi was originally conceived as an academic platform. much like the BBC Micros as well as Apple ][s of yore, the Raspi is designed to get youngsters into programming by providing them a extremely small however still useful computer. reality be told, we haven’t seen any educational hacks including the Raspberry Pi, most likely since makers as well as tinkerers like us have been buying up all the offered boards. The Raspi team is trying to correct this issue by holding a summertime programming contest aimed at youngsters under 18 years of age.
A szabályok egyszerűek: két korosztály van, 13 év alatti, valamint 14-18 éves korig. The youngster who composes the very best piece of software application for the Raspberry Pi gets $1000, with five $200 runners-up in each category.The contest will run for eight weeks, timed completely to coincide with summertime vacation.
Van néhány rendszeres versenyen, a Raspi csapat a jövőben fog tartani, de nyolc héttel a teljes munkához nem várhatunk, hogy megnézzük az összes szép dolog, hogy a fiatalok fogják.
