Review: A FANTASTIC build experience - The Piper kit is very well made and has an intuitive build process complete with actual blueprints. My 10 year old daughter didn't require any assistance (although I sat nearby watching her, just because it was cool). In fact, I wasn't allowed to help. She made fast work of the build and kept saying out loud, "I can't believe I'm building an actual computer." and "I just can't believe I'm doing this." What I liked watching was that, although it was easy to build - it wasn't "too easy" because she actually needed to read each portion of the directions, which are very well designed and written. The quick start guide gives the kid the push they need: charge battery/ build it/ start rolling with the software. As a professional, I'm an Instructional Technology Designer (and jr. high teacher), so I'm hyper critical of products that have less than stellar directions for kids. The provided prompts and diagrams are excellent; my daughter was totally engaged and really loved the process. If there's a question on how to do something, the online support features are provided. My kid immediately got things online and began the programming adventure with great enthusiasm. I love that this kit utilizes the Raspberry Pi board - very expandable and there are TONS of fun experiments. The provided software has a look that echoes of Minecraft and will no doubt engage; it provides great tutorials/challenges along the way that requires her to "get her hands dirty" in terms of physical building/install and critical thinking. This product explores some of the more important early fundamentals of computing (binary/circuits/logic gates). The fact that she gets to build the computer frame with the provided hardware adds the kinesthetic magic that as a parent, I appreciate. Kids too often are only consumers of technology - the Piper makes them a producer of technology - Powerful and inspiring. Few tech products do what this cool kit can do, and I mean beyond teaching programming alone - but yeah, it does that too. Highly recommended - it's like a digital chemistry set.
Review: Hope your Raspberry SD card is not fried. - Great design and overall concept and many 8 year old's will be able to build and run it. The quality of the case, instructions, and software is impressive. However, it wouldn't run....at all. Raspberry Pi are little motherboards with a cpu and graphics output (a tiny PC so to speak)that runs Linux. Their memory including the OS is on a micro SD card. The 16GB SD card we got was fried probably due to aggressive image loading by the seller and lack of QC to verify the SD card and therefore the Raspberry will work. Fortunately I had a 32 GB card and fortunately the seller provides .img files online that can be used to create a bootable SD replacement. It worked and my grandson is having a great time using it. I've built many PC's and run Windows, MacOS and Linux, so good luck to those not able to create a new SD card for it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The main picture and description shows the 7" screen but the lower images show the 9" screen, what is the size of the screen in this kit?**
A: Thanks for this question, the main picture and description are correct, the screen size on the Piper Computer Kit v3 is 7".  A request is pending with Amazon to remove the incorrect photo of the older, $299 Piper Computer Kit v2 that had the 9" screen size.  Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for catching this!

**Q: Where does it ship?**
A: Global shipping

**Q: Can this run mit's scratch?**
A: There are different variations on the raspberry pi system, biu mine could run things similar to mit's scratch.

**Q: How do we build the keyboard/controller?  It seems to be needed in the very first story mode**
A: Hello,

As you proceed through the first Mars mission, the game should instruct you on how to build your controller.  As you proceed through the level, you will complete various connections that will result in a functioning controller for use in the game.

I hope this helps, and if you have any more questions, please just reach out to us at hi@playpiper.com.

Thanks,

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product that is educational and fun!
*by L***R on July 14, 2019*

We just purchased the Piper Computer Kit for our 8 1/2 year old son who loves legos and building. It was a surprise and when it arrived and we told him it was a computer for him to build from scratch; he got so excited and couldn't wait to jump right in. The directions are a blue print of how to and are straight forward and fairly easy to navigate. I like that it teaches kids how to follow instructions, use tools and be patient. It is a process and takes approximately 2 hours for a child of my sons age to put together. In a world where kids are opting to play computer games, I like that the Piper kit had my son build this from scratch which not only got him excited but introduced and taught him fundamentals of electronics and coding. The kit comes with everything you need. It is hands on and interactive and my son loves it. It was great seeing him so proud once he completed it and it gave him that sense of accomplishment. As a parent, we try to find activities that are fun and at the same time stimulating and offer an introduction or learning component and this product was it! With this product, our son learned about real science and electronics. Their website promotes "re-usabiity" so we are considering taking it apart and giving it to our 7 year old nephew for Christmas whom we know will enjoy and love! This is a fantastic product and we highly recommend.!!
