Some toys for children are more expensive than computers with free hardware that allow children to program them

A plate Raspberry Pi Like the ones in the picture, you can buy today for less than 40 euros. In the Raspipc store it is possible to find a lot of options to take the technology home and start programming and snooping with the most daring kids encouraged by parents who surely dare to stimulate their creativity using this low cost and high technology benefits.

One of the key issues that this technology brings is that in addition to the fact that if it breaks it can be exchanged for another one. cheaper than many toys that we can buy for kids. It also has the appeal that a lot of results can be achieved and that great satisfaction can be achieved at home with the result obtained. These machines speak the Linux operating system and are fantastic for children to dare to make constructions, projects and who knows if one day we can introduce new entrepreneurs in Spain that we need.

And so that the experience has a broad knowledge base and the successes can be shared, and I am sure that soon clubs or knowledge centers for families will be created, our colleagues from Xataka Home are collecting a lot of articles with the use that can be made with this type of technologies.

For those who have an interest, I remember that Raspberry Pi It includes a 700Mhz processor with 512 MB of RAM (also with 256 MB) and allows you to run Linux. It has graphic capability to decode content at 1080p, an SD card slot, two USB connectors, RCA video, 3.5-inch jack connection for audio and HDMI. So with a Raspberry Pi you can create a lot of things and for the most geek at home it is the perfect device.

And for those who want to know this type of tools I have been able to see a prototype development experience made with very little investment. This is a presentation work on the Internet of things (Internet of things) and I found it on the blog of June Thirteen and the presentation (in English) is here:
