*Interview with Raspberry's Founder Eben Upton*

Eben Upton has had an interesting trajectory both as an entrepreneur and

academic, founding a couple of startups over the last decade and a half, as

well as acting as the Director of Studies in Computer Science at the

University of Cambridge.

 

Now employed at Broadcom as an SoC architect, his latest “on-the-side”

venture combines a little bit of each facet and is perhaps its most

ambitious yet: reignite programming in schools with a cheap ($25-$35),

compact computing platform that kids could buy themselves. But despite

targeting students, his foundation's tiny computer has already captured the

imaginations of tinkers worldwide.

 

Thank you.
