Here is how I was able to successfully engage my 9 year old to RaspberryPi's fun programming that helps her code interactive stories, animations and games using Scratch programming and many other RaspberryPI projects. Implementation steps include,
- OS installation on RaspberryPi : Installing Raspbian on RaspberryPi needs downloading Raspbian image and write that to microSD card.
- Setting up RaspberryPi: Insert the miscroSD card to RaspberryPi and then connect the basic peripherals like keyboard, mouse, TV screen, and power source.
- Now all set to enjoy RaspberryPi during Stay@home time !!!
