The Raspberry Pi was created by a British charitable foundation to help promote the study of computer science -- especially in schools. And it's been a big success. Since the Pi first hit the market in May 2012, more than 1.5 million have been sold. People who come up with new ways to use the Pi have been posting their innovations on various video portals.
