Welcome to the ultimate D.I.Y. computer-building experience, for ages 8-13! Build a REAL computer from start to finish while playing the Raspberry Pi Edition of Minecraft and learn how to code and make STEAM connections to the real world.
With beautifully etched, laser-cut wood pieces, the Raspberry Pi microcomputer, and hardware designed to be assembled using the included blueprint and screwdriver, the build is just the beginning. Start up the computer and dive into Piper StoryMode, our unique gamified experience which blends physical building with virtual storytelling to engage kids in STEAM learning.
