Raspberry Pi Foundation

A charity that enables young people to realise their full potential through the power of computing.

We engage millions of young people in learning computing and digital making skills through a thriving network of clubs and events, and through partnerships with youth organisations. We enable any school to offer students the opportunity to study computing and computer science by providing the best possible curriculum, resources, and training for teachers. We work to deepen our understanding of how young people learn about computing and digital making, and to use that knowledge to increase the impact of our own work and to advance the field of computing education. We make computing and digital making accessible to all by providing low-cost, high-performance single-board computers and free software. Raspberry Pi Foundation is a registered charity in England and Wales (1129409).

How can we help young people question the outputs of AI tools instead of passively accepting them? 🔍

Researcher Dan Verständig's Critical Computational Literacy framework highlights how people can become intentional about interpreting AI outputs.

Our new research seminar blog explores the framework and how your can use it in your classroom.

"We can figure it out” is the mindset fifth-grade teacher Allison Knoph is helping her students (ages 10 to 11) develop using Experience CS.

By integrating computer science into the curriculum she is already teaching, Allison has seen how computational thinking can strengthen skills across subjects, including writing and math, encouraging problem-solving and collaboration. That mindset carries throughout the school year and has helped her students approach challenges with the confidence they need to work through them. ✨

When young people use AI for homework, what happens to the learning?

Our latest Experience AI unit explores exactly that question.

'Using LLMs strategically for learning' helps learners understand how generative AI works, why it isn't always accurate and how to use it in ways that strengthen, not replace, their thinking.
If you're looking for practical, research-informed resources to teach AI literacy, explore the new unit and read more about the thinking behind it.

How can robotics education prepare learners for a future with more automation? 🤔

Our free Research Seminar series continues on 6 October 2026 with:
“Advancing robotics education: directions for school and tertiary contexts”

Presented by Associate Professor Eleni Petraki and Professor Damith Herath (University of Canberra)
Eleni brings expertise in curriculum design and education for human–AI collaboration, while Damith brings over two decades of experience in robotics, industry collaboration, and interdisciplinary research.

You'll explore with them:
• How robotics education has evolved across STEAM disciplines
• The connections between AI, computer science, and robotics
• How interdisciplinary approaches can shape robotics teaching and learning
• Lessons from redesigning an Australian university engineering and robotics curriculum
• The diverse skills future engineers need in a growing workforce
• Evidence-based recommendations for robotics pedagogy in school and tertiary contexts

This seminar is for educators, researchers, curriculum designers, and anyone interested in robotics, AI, STEAM learning, and the future of education.

"Experience AI is much, much more than just learning about AI - it is about giving children the permission to believe that they can actually make a difference."

Dragana Babić is an educator in Bosnia and Herzegovina who has been teaching Experience AI lessons with her students.

She was first introduced to Experience AI lessons in 2024, and it left a lasting impression, not just because of what her students learned about AI, but because of how they began to see themselves differently.

"I have never met a single student [...] that cannot learn computer science." 🎧

Did you catch this episode of the Hello World podcast with James Abela?

Together we explored the topic of cognitive load in the age of AI: using it to support learning, not replace the thinking process entirely.
