The Raspberry Pi is a tiny computer that fits in the palm of your hand. The Raspberry Pi Foundation created the Raspberry pi to teach kids how to code around the world.
Your Raspberry Pi Computer Kit Includes:
- Raspberry Pi Computer
- microSD card and card reader
- HDMI cable
- keyboard and mice
You will need to have your own TV or monitor to use with your Raspberry Pi.
To use your Raspbrry Pi as a computer, you'll need to connect it to a keyboard, mice, and a monitor or TV. You need to connect them in a specific order so your Raspberry Pi can safely start.
First, make sure the MicroSD card is properly inserted in your Pi. Connect your HDMI cable to your Raspberry Pi and your monitor or your television, then connect your USB keyboard and mice.
Finally, once everything is connected, go ahead and plug in your power adapter. The Raspberry Pi does not have a power switch, so once you connect the power adapter, it’ll turn on by itself.
The Raspberry Pi computer runs an operating system called Raspbian. Try running some apps!
Try Python Games and code Snake!
Try Scratch!
After using your Raspberry Pi computer, you need to safely shut down. Click the Raspberry Pi icon on the upper hand corner, and select "Shutdown", and finally clicking "Shutdown".
If you are disconnecting the power cord, make sure to wait until the green light next to the SD card turns off.
