Imagine if you could make your own games for the Nintendo 3DS. That’s part of the idea behind Pip, a “playful handheld” based on the Raspberry Pi do-it-yourself computer. You can use it to create and play your own video games.

Curious Chip, an educational technology startup, is launching a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign today for Pip. The handheld Curious Chip is aimed at kids, adults, tinkerers, Makers, creators, and educators. The company founded by Jason Frame and Sukhvir Dhillon wants to raise $65,500 in the campaign.
