Do you want to create a responsive mirror, that greets you when you wake up with the latest news and the weather? Or do you want a portable old school gaming console? If you answered yes to any of these, then the Raspberry Pi might be for you.

The Raspberry Pi is a small computer, that runs on the operating system called debian. It often gets used to build electronic projects, such as the retropie, which is a program that can be downloaded on the pi that allows for loading and playing of games. The retropie even support  multiple players, as there normally are 4 USB ports, where ps3, ps4, xbox360 and xbox1 controllers can be used. Its a fun project that will make you learn more about electroncs and programming, but it does require patience, and a bit of technical knowledge.

The sheer number of projects possible can easily intimidate, but once you decide what project to make, it will be really easy with all the guides, that carefully describe the process.

Another very popular project is a mirror display, where it functions as a mirror, while still displaying information like weather, date, time and even greets you.

And the best of it is that all of these mentioned projects, are just the tip of the iceberg.
