Pi Shop Hardware
Raspberry Pi systems provided to students for Pi Shop projects include the Pi 3B, Pi Zero computers, Pi Camera and specialized 'hats' for robotic and scientific projects. Electronic components and sensors are used in a variety of electronics and pre-robotic exercises and projects.

The Pi Shop uses all re-purposed monitors, keyboards, and mice in the class. Students learn basic elements of computers and software and are encouraged to take Pi's home as loaners.

The Pi Zero is small, inexpensive ($20) and frugal on power for portable projects. Yet it has hardware and software compatability with the Pi3. We use it for photography and RC car hack projects. Picture shows Pi Zero monitor, USB and power connections.

An external breadboard below is connected to the Pi GPIO connector via a ribbon cable for more advanced electronics projects: We also use custom hats on the Pi's for simpler connections to external sensors and motors depending on the age group of the class.
