Question: How important do you think it is that schools have raspberry pi?

Hi Matt11. Well, I think it is very important for schools to have easy access to ways of learning data analysis and programming. These skills are so useful in most science related jobs, but I never really learned much about them at school. Supplying them with Raspberry Pis is an economical way of doing this, because they are so cheap and easy to do both these things on. They are also fantastic for learning basic electronics, as I have learned myself recently. I think it is a more hands-on approach which mimics real-life better than textbooks.
