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 virtual and makes DIY learning really fun for kids and parents (even moms raved). 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 make a difference. Mark has an amazing story and reason behind why he created Piper and the team is an ingenious group of savvy hackers. 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!” Thank you for bringing this to our attention and you can find more info @ playpiper.com
