Well-known game developer David Braben is a little bit fed up with the state of computer science education these days, which seems to have shifted away from learning programming to some sort of computer-oriented "life skills" class. As the father of eleven and nine year-old boys, I can attest that so far, despite a massive investment on the part of their school in computer equipment, their computer education has consisted mostly of "play this math game" and "don't be victimized by cyber-perverts." Braben's idea to stem this tide: a very, very cheap computer that students can learn to program on.

著名游戏开发者David Braben对近年来的计算机科学教育状况感到些许厌烦——它们近乎被从学习编程到某些面向计算机的“生存技巧”课程完全占据了。作为一个11岁男孩和一个9岁男孩的爸爸，到目前为止我能证明，除了学校方面购置计算机设备的大量投如之外，他们的计算机教育大部分都只是由“玩玩这个数学游戏”和“别成为网瘾受害者”组成。Braben摆脱这一俗流的做法：一个非常非常廉价的、学生可在之上编程的计算机。

It's elegant in its simplicity: about the size of a typical thumb drive, with a USB port on one side and an HDMI port on the other. It has 128 MB onboard and an SD slot. It apparently ships with Ubuntu. Distribution of this tiny computer will be handled by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, which appears so far to be trying to gather partners and measure demand.

它简约得唯美：才一个普通拇指驱动器大小，一端带一个USB端口，另一端一个HDMI（高清晰度多媒体接口）端口。它主板内存128MB，带一个SD插槽。它明显地搭载着Ubuntu。该超微型计算机的分发事物将由 Raspberry Pi基金会负责。Raspberry Pi看样子目前正在汇集合作伙伴并衡量需求。
