San Francisco-based company Piper<\/a>, who up til now have concentrated on wooden, DIY educational Raspberry Pi bundles<\/a> have branched out into a visual programming environment for developing projects on the Raspberry Pi Pico. Called “Piper Make<\/a>“, the web-based software allows you to develop programs for the Pico using a drag-and-drop interface similar to the Scratch programming environment. A set of tutorials takes you through building simple stuff and then you can move on to creating your own, unique, projects. They have also launched the Makers Club<\/a> which provides you with a starter kit (including Pico and breadboarding items) and access to new functionality when it is released. You can use Piper Make for free, but there is a subscription for what I assume to be more advanced features. It looks like an excellent system for introducing kids, especially, to what the Pico has to offer. Piper Make is available here<\/a>. Why not give it a go and then let me know in the comments what you think of it? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
