run the Raspberry Pi competition. We've used the game of Battleships
they've programmed their Raspberry Pis to act as players. They send their moves
over a network, it's a best-of-three and
the winner moves on to the next round.
 
The idea of the competition here
just to prepare students to start
programming without any knowledge
before.
It's really good to see people actually becoming really involved with computers
right at the very beginning of their university program
to really understand how they work, really try to
understand what you can do with
computers.
So the other part to the challenge
is blue pi thinking and this is totally
about creativity
to do something interesting and novel
with their Raspberry Pi.
It's been tremendous the range of abilities they've all got and they've got some really 
great ideas
which could be taken forward into something quite commercial.
There's a guy broadcasting on FM radio;
basically the idea is to do something interesting
ideally difficult
and just impress us with what they can do.
It's been really interesting to see
some really creative things being
done.
I think it's great to see the Raspberry Pi being used in the teaching environment
that was what it was originally intended to do.
