This document provides instructions and component lists for several Raspberry Pi powered projects: 1. A magic mirror project using a picture frame, one-way mirror film, old computer monitor, Raspberry Pi, Chromium browser in kiosk mode, and Skywriter module. 2. A tweeting camera stuffed animal using a stuffed animal, battery, Raspberry Pi B+, camera, button, wiring, Twitter app authorization, and Python code. 3. A 4M kit hacks project using a 4M kit, jumper wires, batteries, Raspberry Pi, and Python code to teach coding concepts by controlling motors and components. 4. A motorized paper airplane launcher using a plastic base, Leg

1. Magic Mirror
Raspberry Pi Powered
Ingredients:
• Picture frame
• One way mirror film
• Old computer monitor
• Raspberry pi
• Chromium in “kiosk” mode
• Skywriter module
• Keyboard, mouse, cables

2. Tweeting Cam Pig
Raspberry Pi Powered
Ingredients:
• Stuffed animal
• 8500maH battery
• Raspberry Pi B+ Ver. 2
• Python code
• Twython module
• PiCamera
• Button
• Two jumper wires
• SB/micro USB cable
• Velcro to grant easy access to components
• Wifi dongle, (wifi provided by cell phone)
• Twitter dev app authorization

3. 4M Kit Hacks
Raspberry Pi Powered
Ingredients:
• 4M Kit
• Jumper Wires to attach kit to Raspberry Pi
• Python code
• Batteries, (so Raspberry Pi doesn’t have pressure of
powering the motor and other gears.)
• Electrical tape or soldering components.
Teaches kids how code can control different
components. Even if the concept is similar, the code
and motor can create solutions to myriads of
challenges. Offers opportunities to use imagination,
creativity and technical skills.

4. Motor Powered
Paper Airplane
Launcher
Raspberry Pi Powered
Ingredients:
• Plastic base
• Legos for base, (can be added to for height)
• Battery pack to supplement power to motors
• Jumper Wires to attach to Raspberry Pi
• Rubber floor protectors
• Screws to attach to motors
• Python code
• Electrical tape/super glue/double stick tape
Fold a plane and ask to have it launched from the
launcher. How far does it fly?

5. Raspberry Pi Models
Raspberry Pi B+, (there was an A, B, B+ Version 1, too!)
• Arm Processor
• Memory commonly 1Gb
• Micro SD Card, (8Gb preferable) for storage
• Runs Raspbian, (Wheezy Version) but has many
version of Operating System available!
• GPU, (Graphic processor) with 512Mb
• Micro USB power, (charger for Android Phones)
2Amp max

speaker and Ethernet.

6. Raspberry Pi 3 Model
Raspberry Pi 3
• Arm Processor, (4× ARM Cortex-A53, 1.2GHz)
• Memory commonly 1Gb
• Built in WiFi!
• Micro SD Card, (8Gb preferable) for storage
• Runs Raspbian, (Jessie Version) but has others
available. Will NOT run Wheezy!
• GPU, Broadcom VideoCore IV

7. Raspberry PiZero
Raspberry Pi 3
• Arm Processor, (1GHz ARM11 core)
• 512Gb of memory
• 40 GPIO, no PINS, (aka unpopulated)
• Micro SD Card, (8Gb preferable) for storage
• Runs Raspbian, (Jessie Version) and also Will NOT
run Wheezy!
• Mini-HDMI socket for 1080p60 video output
• Micro USB power, (charger for Android Phones)
2Amp max
• An unpopulated composite video header
• 1 micro USB for attaching hub for keyboard, mouse,
WiFi dongle, etc.
Great for advance users, not a good choice for
beginners.
