Learn with RPi

Raspberry-Pi helps teachers and learners to learn and practice. Here are three useful projects and ideas that might inspire you!
  • Weather

It’s important and useful to learn about weather. Instructors can help students to understand and apply data collection related to weather. RPi can be used with sensors and programmed to collect, analyze, and present the data. Here is. Here is how.
  • Science

Students can investigate various concepts from Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, using a Raspberry Pi and a Sense HAT. Here is how.
  • Networking
I remember my Networking classes. They were board, as we were trying to learn a practical topic with no practice! Young learners shouldn’t suffer, thanks to RPi. Here is how.


These are just a few examples, and there are much more. You can explore them at this link.

    Wow, looks like that there are many ways to learn and build network through RPi. When it comes to weather, I wonder if you have heard about Dark Sky. My son says he has learned something based on Dark Sky api.

      Hi Hyo
      Actually I didn't hear about Dark Sky before, but I think this is a good chance to learn more about it, thanks for sharing this information!

    Hi Abubakr
    This tool is very useful. It is an umbrella for almost all educator to facilitate their activities for their students through this tool. i think it will help educators to save time and effort since they can work via this tool wherever they are. Thank you so much : )

      It's is Rashed, and I believe learners, especially younger, will use it more and more in the future. If you noticed, all above applications are for high school or collage level. However, RPi is always for young kids as of primary or basic school level. In my next post I will be talking about Scratch language, which is developed by MIT and can be used with RPi. This language is really for KIDS, I mean kids of 5 years old and above!

Raspberry Pi Hardware

In this post, we will spot the light on Raspberry Pi’s hardware components. Like any other computer or electronic system, Raspberry Pi consists of a processor, RAM, memory/memory slot, peripherals and I/O connections (USB, Ethernet Network, Camera, HDMI, I/O, etc.), and it continuously evolves over time. Specifications become better and the price goes lower. Before digging deeper, it’s good to mention that there are many different versions of Pi board, all of them are under five models, which are Model A/A+, Model B/B+, and Pi Zero. These models differ in their hardware specifications, and hence the capabilities. However, they all have processors, RAM, memory, and peripherals. In this post I'm will not talk about specific model, but rather we will have an overall idea about available specifications. The early models used Broadcom’s ARMv6 processors with 600 MHz speed. Updated versions used 900MHz speeds, and the newest versions used 1.2GHz processor’s speed. To make it eas...

What is elearning?

What is elearning? There is no one agreed upon definition of elearning. Different definitions are and will be introduced as technologies evolve rapidly day after day. Let’s start with a dictionary definition [i] : e-learn·ing ˈ ē ˌ l ə rniNG/ noun : learning conducted via electronic media, typically on the Internet. Historically, the use of computers, laptops, and projectors inside a classroom to facilitate the learning was considered elearning . Typically, slides, photos, videos, or a combination of them are used in classroom environments (physical classrooms). However, the instructor plays a more important role in the process of elearning . During the last two decades, we have witnessed huge technological advances, i.e. graphical operating systems, the internet, smart devices, etc. These highly sophisticated and advanced technologies changed every aspect of our lives, thanks to Apple, Microsoft, Google, Intel, and other high-tech companies all over the world...

Using Scratch with Raspberry-Pi

In my previous post, I mentioned some examples and projects that can be implemented using Raspberry-Pi. Most of the projects can be implemented using high-level programming languages like Java, Python, C++, etc. However, these programming languages might not be easy for kids, and hence they can’t use Raspberry-Pi! Fortunately, MIT invented Scratch programming language for kids, and this language can be implemented and used on Raspberry-Pi. Scratch is now used allover the world, and many interesting projects are developed using it. Below videos explain what is Scratch and what kids can do with it! In this video Philip (7 years) explains how he used Scratch and Raspberry-Pi to create and program his game! You can learn how to use Scratch with Raspberry-Pi from below video References: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXUZaf5D12A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ok6LbV6bqaE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIHKM8_F4RA https://www.youtube...
