IF YOUTUBE FAILS, TRY VIEWPURE:PI-TOP - DIY Computer (for 6-16 year olds)

DIY laptop or desktop computers built by kids that helps them start learning how to code, create awesome devices and take knowledge to the next level.

These Raspberry Pi powered DIY computers are an excellent resource for any budding hobbyist, student or intrigued user wanting to learn more about the capabilities of the credit card-sized development board.

When we started Raspberry Pi, we had a simple goal: to increase the number of people applying to study Computer Science at Cambridge University. There was was no expectation that adults would use Raspberry Pi, no expectation of commercial success, and certainly no expectation that four years later we would be manufacturing tens of thousands of units a day in the UK, and exporting Raspberry Pi all over the world.

Accessibility - Google Kit Brings Voice Control to Raspberry Pi: A few potential uses for this particular AIY project below:

1. Replace physical buttons and digital displays (those are so 90's) on household appliances and consumer electronics (imagine a coffee machine with no buttons or screen – just talk to it)
2. Replace smartphone apps to control devices (those are so 2000's) on connected devices (imagine a connected light bulb or thermostat – just talk to them)
3. Add voice recognition to assistive robotics (e.g. for accessibility) – just talk to the robot as a simplified programming interface, e.g. “tell me what's in this room or “tell me when you see the mail-carrier come to the door”
