The Piper Computer Kit is a hands-on STEAM learning experience which allows students to learn computer science, electronics, and coding while building and using a fully functioning computer. Assemble the computer’s hardware using the Piper Computer Kit’s engineering blueprint, then learn STEAM concepts in Piper’s custom-built software.
As soon as students open the box, they are immersed. Piper engages students in a rich, tactile building experience with laser-cut wooden parts, a Raspberry Pi microcomputer, and a collection of electronic components.
Kids build hardware and connect circuitry to progress through a captivating series of adventures in StoryMode.
Coding is made tangible (and more engaging) by connecting and controlling buttons, LEDs, switches, and new electronic creations.
"As an educator who is a Piper customer, I have observed kids attain the maker-mindset and start on the road to becoming creators of technology rather than simply learning passively... I am convinced that the success they experienced completing the exercises gave them the confidence they needed for such an undertaking. Does Piper install confidence? It does."

“My son really loved being able to put it together. He loves building things and he really enjoyed using the little screwdriver and being able to watch it go from pieces to product. He also enjoyed being able to watch it come on and work at the end. This is a great product!!”

“This is so much more than a computer... so much more than an awesome case... so much more than an awesome software game that teaches basic circuit design... it's an end-to-end well-designed and well-integrated product. At one point he quietly turned to me and emphatically said 'I really really like this kit,' and went right back to working on it.”
