Raspberry Pi Arrives at APU

The IEM Student Section (IESS) of APU exhibited a device that amazed the APU community, the Raspberry Pi – a personal computer (PC) of the size of a credit card.

The exhibition booth opened on the 4^th of August (Monday) in APU Foyer. Students from the School of Engineering’s IESS stationed at the booth to provide detailed explanation and demonstration of the Raspberry Pi. Several monitors were being connected to the Raspberry Pi computer, and were used to display its functionality. It was amazing that a device of the size of a credit card can perform as good as typical, bulky desktop computers in terms of media playback, data processing and more.

Representatives from IESS are also scheduled to conduct a talk and demonstration session of the Raspberry Pi on the 7^th of August (Thursday).
