Using a Raspberry Pi for Science and Education - Raspberry Pi Mechatronics Projects - page 207

Objective complete - mini debriefing
Your Raspberry Pi can also be used to build something that tests the skills of people at a
science fair or to provide entertainment (raffle draw, puzzle, and so on).
Some simple educational experiments using
the Raspberry Pi
1. A sotware tool that alerts when the internaional space staion lies by your vi cinity
can be found at http://issabove.com/iss-above -and-the-raspberry-pi/ .
2. A collecion of scieniic experiment aricles using the Raspbe rry Pi can be found

research/ .
3. Scratch is a graphical programming tool developed by MIT to moivate
children to get started with learning to program. S cratch can be found at
