On Friday, the Raspberry Pi brand has opened the very first Raspberry Pi Store, where they plan to sell Raspberry Pi merchandise and accessories.
For those who are unsure of what a Raspberry Pi is and think it is probably a delicious pie, sorry to get your hopes up but it is not. The Raspberry Pi is a neat device that fits all the components of a computer, plus some more, within a space the size of a credit card. Very impressive to see:
The store is found in Cambridge, England, which is the home country of the Raspberry Pi. Using this store allows guests to get their Raspberry Pi in their hands immediately instead of having to buy it from a third-party vendor, which is the only way to get a Raspberry Pi, and waiting for it to ship and get delivered. An interesting quirk about the store is that it is cashless, meaning that they only accept credit and debit cards.
I find this store to be very helpful for those who are into DIY and coding since they can walk in and walk out with a fully-working portable computer for around $35, ready to work on a project. I’ve had my Raspberry Pi 3 for some years now and I love experimenting with it since there are lots of project ideas to complete using it. I believe this store will catch some eyes of those window shopping in the mall and it will expose them to the wonderful world of coding.
