Raspberry Pi Foundation Blog
EDITOR BRIEF
Douglas, founder of Oasis Mathare, uses technology and Code Clubs to help young people in Nairobi’s Mathare area learn new skills. He says access to a computer, the internet, and guidance can create many opportunities, especially where many students do not finish formal education. The group uses Code Club and Raspberry Pi Foundation learning resources in schools and at its centre.
