Purple_hazed, I found a company a couple of months ago that is using the raspberry Pi circuit board to teach kids how to build a computer while playing minecraft. A kickstarter success back in April, they are in Alpha and will be receiving their first shipment of Pipers in the coming weeks. Needless to say, I feel in love with the idea, especially as a computer science girl geek. Summation: It reintroduces the physical world back into the physical and makes DIY learning really fun for kids and parents. It was so compelling, I reached out to the CEO Mark (http://bit.ly/MarkPavlyukovskyy)to http://bit.ly/MarkPavlyukovskyy)to see how I could help them and is why I am making this post today. Mark has an amazing story and reason behind why he created Piper and the team is ingenious. Proof in point, I met with one of the Alpha tester families last week and this is what they had to say: “Engaging, interactive and fun… It's not like most gaming systems,the whole family can learn how things are processing while playing and having fun. I would much rather have my son playing Piper vs all of the other consoles we have in our home, anytime!” Find out more @ playpiper.com, reach out to me if there are further questions too elesemoran@gmail.com
