Teaching Kids to Code on Raspberry Pi
summary
A Raspberry Pi plus Scratch and simple electronics powers a hands-on workshop that is repeatable: 5 structured activities on GitHub guide students from blinking an LED to driving a servo, used with 12 middle-school girls in a TechGirlz session and staffed at about a 4:1 kid to programmer ratio. Outcome metrics show success — 92% rate the experience valuable and 70% report increased interest in tech — proving the curriculum works in a day.
