About
The Raspberry Pi is a small and affordable single-board computer. It's an excellent platform for learning Linux operating systems, computer networking, electronics, and programming. The Pi's popularity has lead to a massive online community and a wealth of resources for self-guided learning.
StudioLab has 15 Raspberry Pi Kits available for checkout to students, staff, and faculty. Visit us during Open Hours to find out more about borrowing one.

There are hundreds of Pi kits available online that attempt to address a beginner's needs. We weren't perfectly happy with any of them, so we made our own.
StudioLab's solution was to create a kit that allows for immediate and comfortable access to all the features of the Raspberry Pi. This ultimately meant purchasing a high-quality version of everything, and packing it all in a cute carrying case. We hope you like it.
Tutorials
We produced a few tutorials that introduce you to the basics of our kit and the Raspberry Pi. If there's a topic you want to see covered or you want to make a tutorial yourself, let us know and we'll make it happen.
