Volunteer Spotlight: Prajna Ho

Bringing Raspberry Pi to classrooms
At OLE Nepal, we strive to bring the best new technology to our classrooms. It's never easy to embrace a new piece of technology, for teachers are resistant to the change, with factors like power cuts and budget making up a huge share of challenge. So we set our selection of the technology based on the 3 prime constraints; low-powered, portable, and low cost. And for these traits, Raspberry Pi steps up as the knight in shining armor.
