A #RaspberryPi lab in rural Ghana
The Foundation has just posted a great story from Ghana. The British School of Brussels has helped to set up a network of 6 Raspberry Pis in a rural location for school kids to use. The biggest issue seems to have been getting monitors for the Pis! The Pis are set-up so that children can use them in turn (see picture above).
It’s always great to hear a ‘good news’ story 🙂
