^ During the course you will learn how to create Python applications on Raspberry. First, the device is set up by assembling and connecting the bits and pieces. Then, Raspberry's operating system, GNU/Linux (more specifically, Raspbian, in this case), is studied. Finally, Python programming language is studied, applications created and tested on Raspberry.

The Raspberry Pi 3 is the third generation Raspberry Pi. It replaced the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B in February 2016. Compared to the Raspberry Pi 2 it has:
Like the Pi 2, it also has:
The Raspberry Pi 3 has an identical form factor to the previous Pi 2 (and Pi 1 Model B+) and has complete compatibility with Raspberry Pi 1 and 2.
We recommend the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B for use in schools, or for any general use. Those wishing to embed their Pi in a project may prefer the Pi Zero or Model A+, which are more useful for embedded projects, and projects which require very low power.
