Yes, in fact, it is a sweet story; especially for students and developing countries. The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a UK registered charity going into production of a tiny PC about the size of a short stack of credit-cards. The founder, Eben Upton, became concerned about deterioration of skills in newly admitted students as he was lecturing and working in admissions at Cambridge University. He observed only basic student software skills, but also a substantial drop in admissions to programming courses. Students knew how to create documents, but had very little knowledge of basic systems development and systems architecture. The foundation is dedicated to promoting the study of computer science and related topics and inspiring students to embark on technology careers.
