Concept Flow - What is Raspberry Pi
Start
Raspberry Pi is a small computer
Connect to power and peripherals
Boot operating system
Run programs and projects
Learn coding and electronics
End
This flow shows how Raspberry Pi starts as a small computer, boots up, and lets you run programs to learn coding and electronics.
Execution Sample
Raspberry Pi
# No code to run, Raspberry Pi is hardware
# But you can run Python code on it like:
print('Hello from Raspberry Pi!')
This simple code prints a message on Raspberry Pi's screen to show it runs programs like a computer.

Full Transcript
Raspberry Pi is a tiny computer you can power on and connect to a screen and keyboard. It boots an operating system from an SD card, just like a regular computer. You can run programs on it, for example, Python code that prints messages. It also has special pins called GPIO to connect and control electronic parts like LEDs or sensors. When you finish using it, you should shut it down properly to avoid losing data or damaging the device.
