Educational Pilots
* The Raspberry Pi can be used in different ways with a variety of grades. Since basic literacy and numeracy are useful prerequisites, material could be matched to students anywhere from about grade 4 to grade 12.
* The Pi is intended as a personal, exploratory tool. It is recommended that each student purchase their own personal Raspberry Pi. Alternately, a classroom set could be used, with each student having their own SD card.
* Interfacing electronic devices (such as LEDs or switches) to the Raspberry Pi is relatively straightforward, but can easily result this may be more suitable for students in higher grade levels because of the precautions that must be taken to prevent damage to the Pi, and should probably be done by students in higher grades.
Seneca CDOT is willing to provide software images, technical support, curriculum consultation, teacher training, and customized educational materials for pilot projects.
