tation. Fifth, Raspberry Pi-based projects not only enhance technical
skills but also promote problem-solving, critical thinking, and collab-
oration.
As will be shown, Raspberry Pi has been widely used in science, tech-
nology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. It supports
a multidisciplinary approach, integrating various STEM concepts in a
practical and engaging manner. We strongly believe that learning with
Raspberry Pi leads to a well-rounded computer and technology litera-
cy.
In many countries worldwide, Raspberry Pi in education has been
a transformative force for improving computer and technology skills,
contributing to digital inclusion in areas where access to traditional
computing resources is limited or cost-prohibitive. In other words,
Raspberry Pi is a valuable tool for narrowing the technological gap and
fostering a more equitable educational landscape in underdeveloped
regions.
Last, but not least, Raspberry Pi is green, because it is energy effi-
cient, has a compact design, is known for its longevity and upgradea-
bility, and its design is based on open-source hardware and software.
