Thanks to Margaret for sending this in – it’s great to see such a capable and cheap computer like the Raspberry Pi challenging this small group of high school-aged students to troubleshoot problems and to think creatively about solutions.

A group of six 12th graders just did some curriculum tests and we made a video to share what we learned about:

– Adafruit PiTFT 3.5″ Touch Screen
– HDMI integration with renderers such as Open GL. PD2, PD3
– Pi Cobbler with LEDs and bread board.
– Processing 2 vs 3 and Library Compatibilty Issues
– Student projects showcase and more.

PiTFT – Assembled 480×320 3.5″ TFT+Touchscreen for Raspberry Pi: Is this not the cutest, little display for the Raspberry Pi? It features a 3.5″ display with 480×320 16-bit color pixels and a resistive touch overlay so is slightly larger than our popular original. The plate uses the high speed SPI interface on the Pi and can use the mini display as a console, X window port, displaying images or video etc. Best of all it plugs right in on top! Read more.
