The Raspberry Pi is a credit card-sized, low-cost computer capable of taking on a multitude of tasks. It’s been used by home theater aficionados, programmers, and even retro gamers, and our DT Shop currently offers the Raspberry Pi 3 bundled with more than 24 hours of online courses for $120, a savings of more than $100.

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B launched earlier this year and as we noted back in February, this model boasts some considerable upgrades from previous Raspberry boards. For starters, it has a new 1.2GHz, 64-bit quad-core ARMv8 processor that’s paired with 1GB of RAM. That replaces the 900MHz CPU found on the older version. The extra muscle makes the Raspberry Pi 3 a respectable foundation for all sorts of projects as users come up with more novel ways to use their boards.

Onboard Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity also make this the first Internet of Things-ready Raspberry Pi. The Wi-Fi support lets you get online, whereas the Bluetooth connectivity allows it to connect to peripherals and sensors.

Other noteworthy features include a full-size HDMI port, MicroSD slot, and four USB ports.

This $120 bundle also includes a quick starter kit designed to get your Raspberry Pi 3 up and running as fast as possible. The kit includes all the necessary accessories such as a power adapter, an 8GB SD card with the Raspbian OS preinstalled, and a set of USB, HDMI, and Ethernet cables.

Also included in this bundle are 24 hours worth of online courses designed to help you launch into a variety of projects with your Raspberry Pi. That includes a 7-hour IoT course, a 3-hour network security course, a 1-hour Beowulf Cluster course which teaches you how to form Raspberry Pi clusters for more power-hungry tasks, a 2-hour robotics course, a 7-hour Web development course, and a 1-hour crash course on everything Raspberry Pi. Combined, the courses alone are worth over $200, which makes this bundle a savings of more than $100.

If you’re still short on ideas, check out our list of five easy projects anyone can try with their Raspberry Pi.

A PC anyone can build: The 2018 Kano computer kit is the cheapest it’s ever been
2018 kano computer kit deal 71su1lb5  l sl1500

Building a traditional desktop PC is no small endeavor, but as hardware has continued to diminish in size, some innovative modern devices like the Raspberry Pi have popped up that put a unique spin on things. The pocket-sized Raspberry Pi board in particular is a dream toy for tinkerers, programmers, do-it-yourselfers, and even kids now, thanks to kits like the Kano computer (a perfect gift for any budding tech enthusiast) which is now on sale from Amazon for the lowest price we’ve ever seen.

The Kano computer kit has been around for a few years now, with the previous model seeing a widespread release in 2016. The minds behind Kano later released an updated model in 2018, and this refresh is on sale right now. The Kano computer kit runs on a Raspberry Pi 3 board – one of the newer Raspberry iterations – and comes with everything you need to built your own computer, minus a display (although an HDMI cable is included for you to hook it up to your existing TV or PC monitor).
