Abstract

Since presentations this spring at the BCLA and CLA conferences on their Raspberry Pi program, Danielle Wing and Eric Meyers have had librarians and educators asking them: how did you develop this program? What would we need to start a Raspberry Pi program at our library? This article discusses the origins of the project, sketches an outline of the program curriculum, and provides a few measures of initial success and considerations for future programs.
