3 LEARN PLAY CREATE pi-top s mission is to make STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) education possible and affordable in every school. The story

4 pi-top is a build-it-yourself laptop powered by the Raspberry Pi. It has a modular rail. pi-topceeds is a plug & play desktop powered by the Raspberry Pi with a magnetic modular rail. Product introduction

5 The OCR* endorsed pi-topos (Operating system) platform comes pre-installed on the SD card shipped with every unit. pi-topos software suite lets you - browse the web, - check s, - create and edit Microsoft Office compatible files It includes pi-topcoder and comes with the revolutionary educational game CEEDuniverse. pi-topcoder provides a step-by-step guides for Raspberry Pi projects. *OCR (Oxford Cambridge and Royal Society of Arts) a leading UK awarding examination body, for teaching Computer Science. LEARN - Software

6 pi-topcoder is the interface that allows you to access worksheets and pre-built lesson plans. It s the easiest way to deliver computer science lessons providing step-by-step guides for computer science and STEAM worksheets. Programming languages that can be taught: Python and Sonic Pi (a variant of Ruby) 100+ hours of lesson plan content. CEEDuniverse is our educational game. It s a world of fantasy developed in line with the computing curriculum taking science fiction and transforming it into science. It is a FREE massive role-play game carefully crafted by pitop. The game teaches students to solve computational puzzles, how to code in Python and build physical circuits which interact with the game. Exploring the planet, the students first encounter drag & drop coding puzzles and move on to writing text based code. Programming languages that can be taught: Python and SQL LEARN + PLAY : pi-topcoder + CEEDuniverse

7 People Teachers, Administrators, Bursars, Headmasters/Principals, Technology Directors are key Organisations Schools, Colleges, Libraries, CodeClub s, TechCamp s and Universities love pi-top People who are buying maker products such as Robots, LittleBits, Sphero s, Arduino s, Raspberry Pi s, 3D printers etc Customer Interests Our teachers either know about Raspberry Pi or are teaching Computer Science/STEAM More and more schools are using pi-top s to teach STEAM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics). Students from 6 to 18 years old want a pi-top to expand their skills for future jobs at home or at school WHO BUYS - KEY FACTS Teachers of STEAM or Computer Science Teachers who know about Raspberry Pi We cover all STEAM subjects Free worksheets included Who BUYS pi-top?

Get kids who would otherwise not be interested $35 to upgrade RPI Lower replacement costs Design heart rate monitor in D+T, code in computer science and test in Biology Support is available to help schools deploy and get the most from pi-top Pi-top key selling points

9 Adaptable platform The easiest way to deploy and use a Raspberry pi Connect Raspberry Pi compatible devices to the pi-top: Littlebits Sense HAT, Unicorn HAT Arduinos Robots BBC micro:bit and more Champion support network A European and US network of champions: a team active and respected in schools and Raspberry Pi communities delivering free workshops RPi community pi-top products are powered by the Raspberry Pi allowing educators to leverage this incredible community. There are 12 million RPis in the world. Learn from peers and use free projects in your classroom Suitable across age groups and subjects Learn, play and create with science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics through pitopcoder, CEEDuniverse, Scratch and other applications Use pi-top from 6 18 year old s. A platform suitable for use across all school age groups Free teacher training pi-top is offering free teacher training through a series of webinars across These will be recorded to our website. If schools can come together as a group, pi-top is able to run on-site teacher training workshops Specialist education partners who our education customers can trust and lean on for support pi-top: STEAM platform and ecosystem
