Recently, the TechEducator Podcast recorded a show featuring a tiny microcomputer known as a Raspberry Pi. We learned that a Pi (\”pie\”) is a small computer board that is designed for students to create the computer of their dreams. Fitted with circuits and external ports, when put in the proper hands, a Raspberry Pi can do just about anything.
But what if you don\'t know the first thing about microcomputing? Fortunately, a new twitter account has emerged from Trisha Sanches (@techistrish), Peter Stran (@strawn_ed), Brian Briggs (@bribriggs), and Techlandia\'s own master podcaster Jon Samuelson (@jonsamuelson) called @picademyfanclub. Follow this new and sizzling hot account today to stay updated with the Pi Community.
