The $35 credit card size computer called Raspberry Pi is actually one of the hottest and cheapest little computers in the world right now. Initially it was designed for kids to give children a low cost platform to learn programming.

This is definitely a nerdy gizmo but the project helps children to learn, build things and for some to realize their dreams ...
