Solar Pi A Technology Innovation THE WORDS INNOVATION

Solar Pi – A Technology Innovation

THE WORDS INNOVATION AND INVENTION OVERLAP BUT ARE REALLY QUITE DISTINCT.

What is the difference between INNOVATION and INVENTION?

Invention • a new, useful process, machine, improvement, etc. , that did not exist previously and that is • recognized as the product or something unique

Innovation • Innovation can refer to something new or to make an existing product, idea, or field. • One might say that the first telephone was an invention, the first cellular telephone either an invention or an innovation, and the first smartphone an innovation.

What is a Solar Pi A Raspberry Pi computer and a Solar charger

What is a Raspberry Pi? • • A credit card sized PC Plugs into a TV or monitor Inexpensive ~$35 each Capability: – Programming – Electronic Projects – Office – Play HD Videos – Gaming (Scratch & Minecraft etc)

What is Solar Power? Heat radiation from the sun converted into electrical power

Software • The Raspberry Pi uses Linux kernel-based operating systems. Raspbian, a Debian-based free operating system optimized for the Raspberry Pi hardware, and it comes preloaded in the SD card provided. 9

Programming • By default, Raspberry Pi supports UNIX shell scripting, Python or any other language that will compile with ARMv 6 can be used with it. • Programming software such as SCRATCH game maker comes bundled with the Pi. • Scratch is a programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art - and share your creations on the web. • As young people create and share Scratch projects, they learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively. 10
