The Complete Raspberry Pi 3 Starter Kit

Raspberry Pi is a compact computer developed by leading computer science educators to help people of all ages explore computing and learn how to program. Simply plug it into a monitor or TV, attach a mouse and keyboard, and you may use it like a standard desktop computer. Or, as you become more proficient, use Raspberry Pi to build projects from music makers to weather stations all from a central hub.

• Connect to the Internet right out of the box–there are no additional peripherals needed to make it wireless
• Own a Raspberry Pi 2 already? Almost all of your previous accessories are compatible w/ the new version
• Access the Raspberry Pi forum for new demo codes or tutorials
• Learn to code in Python & Scratch
• Make STEM education fun & useful

When you receive your Raspberry Pi 3 you might be a little bit overwhelmed. But have no fear, for you also received the Quick Starter Kit! With this kit you’ll be able to organize and install all the essential peripherals to get your Raspberry Pi up to optimal speed in no time at all.

• The USB to TTL Cable is the easiest way to connect to a microcontroller & will facilitate logging into the Raspbian console
• Kit is compatible w/ Raspberry Pi 2 as well
• Ethernet & WiFi USB Adapters will let you choose between wired or wireless internet

Note: You must download Raspbian OS for the SD Card. To learn how to do this, click here.

In this course, you’ll start with the very basics of Raspberry Pi’s Internet of Things applications, and reach an intermediate level of home automation.
