But who knew? No-one had produced a tiny cheap device like this so no-one knew that the demand would be so high. Anyone who says otherwise is guessing with 20:20 hindsight. Sorry, I didn't mean my post to be an attack. What I meant was there was this HUGE untapped market out there for exactly what ...

Why not get one of these?

They work perfectly on my Pi, and Apple TV

TBH, the fact we should have 500k in the field by September I find faintly miraculous given the original estimates! In no-ones wildest dreams did these sort of figures feature. The problem with the Raspberry Pi foundation was that there is a want for small cheap and powerful computers. This is evid...

So they are ticking over quite fast. I also got the error message though earlier in the process.

I just received my slice of the pi

Trevor: to you point about orders not completing, I have read here that if you wait an hour and try again then your auth code will be valid again. I was lucky that I was able to go to my history and go back one step and try again :) So now I have some Raspberry Pi being baked for me. Though I did h...

All is well :D Pro tip: Don't close the window and try the auth code. It will state it is invalid. Thankfully I was able to go to my history and reopen the step before the error message, and it all went through. So I guess the server is getting smashed. Now I know why I am up at 11.30pm :D I'm so ex...

Just received my 'You can order' email from RS

Though when I get to the user registration section, I get an error screen.

Have I lost access to the activation code I received in my email? Or will it still be there tomorrow when I try again?

When I received my email, I started shaking...

Are you talking about the 'demo' scene?

If so have a look at this - http://awards.scene.org/index.php I am sure you can add a category.

<r>Personally, I am at the opinion that the Raspberry Pi has not yet failed. I also personally believe that it will not fail. What does worry me will schools take it on? In one breath - they will, on the other do they need to right away? Schools will need to stop being a platform ecosys...

<r>JamesH said: If you truly need one for an educational conference, I suggest you email <EMAIL email="liz@raspberrypi.org">liz@raspberrypi.org</EMAIL> with details, and she may be able to provide one. Although comments like the above certainly won't help your cause. <br/...

The problem is I am having to consider bidding for this because I am trying to present the device to an Australia wide education conference though was not considered worthy enough to get one in the first batch.

<t>Crippen69 said: This "small step" approach worked well for most, but for those with a real interest in computers could be boring. Structuring courses will really depend on the interest level of the kids involved. If you take it too slow you will lose some, likewise if you take it...

My experience is stating that the younger the student the better they learn. I have 6 year old students learning robotics and programming.

<t>solutionmania said: @Trevor - all good points! What you're doing in Australia sounds awesome! It'd be great if we could do that sort of thing here. I can't say that what I do is normal in Australia, because you don't normally get a teacher with a comp...

<t>solutionmania said: Is whole-class teaching even the right approach? I am in a fortunate position that I work in a year 1 to 10 (6 to 16 year olds) school in Western Australia. My whole timetable is teaching computing. Year 1 - 6 students get an hour a week, 7 -...

<t>Hi, I send an Email a few weeks ago requesting if you have any chance of considering attending or assisting someone to present (demo) the Raspberry Pi/Gert board at the Australian Computers in Education Conference this year in Perth Western Australia? It's a national conference and wil...
