Raspberry PI Foundation
The idea behind a tiny and affordable computer for kids came in 2006, when Eben Upton, Rob Mullins, Jack Lang and Alan Mycroft, based at the University of Cambridge’s Computer Laboratory, became concerned about the year-on-year decline in the numbers and skills levels of the A Level students applying to read Computer Science. From a situation in the 1990s where most of the kids applying were coming to interview as experienced hobbyist programmers, the landscape in the 2000s was very different; a typical applicant might only have done a little web design.

Raspberry Pi Zero w/ Wireless LAN & Bluetooth
Raspberry Pi Zero W
Full feature list for Zero W: 1GHz, single-core CPU. 512MB RAM. Mini-HDMI port. Micro-USB On-The-Go port. Micro-USB power. HAT-compatible 40-pin header. Composite video and reset headers. CSI camera connector. 802.11n wireless LAN. Bluetooth 4.0. We imagine you’ll find all sorts of uses for Zero W. It makes a better general-purpose computer because you’re less likely to need a hub: if you’re using Bluetooth peripherals you might well end up with nothing at all plugged into the USB port. And of course it’s a great platform for experimenting with IoT applications.
