Piper upgrades DIY computer kit with bigger screen, built-in speaker, and AC power adapter

Piper has announced the next version of its Raspberry Pi-powered DIY computer building kit for kids.

A few years back, the San Francisco-based education technology startup debuted its first Piper Computer Kit, which consists of an array of buttons, wires, batteries, buzzers, speakers, switches, and a screen. It’s aimed at helping kids learn the basics of engineering, circuitry, programming, and problem solving by building a computer from scratch and using the Raspberry Pi Edition of Minecraft.
