@bonkers @Natanox @Shrigglepuss Yeah, they already have fun in Minecraft. But they're interested in making stuff at a somewhat lower level; one of them specifically is really into Tamagotchi right now. Maybe Microbit would be a good choice for that.

But basically I want a device for them that they can more directly work with Scratch and maybe Python, and the RPi400 manual has an amazing Pygame tutorial in it.

I'm definitely weighing a lot of options and RPi400 seems like the best one.

@fluffy @bonkers @Natanox @Shrigglepuss Agree with @Natanox - buy a 400. It’s future iterations that’re problematic and while it’s important to deny business to companies who demonstrate unconscionable conduct, this gives the educational element an additional layer - you can explain why the company’s problematic and you wont be supporting them again.

@oscarjiminy @bonkers @Natanox @Shrigglepuss thanks, I’ll probably get the rpi400 and two microbits for them then (or maybe a fun adafruit kit if they have something to their skill level)

@fluffy @oscarjiminy @bonkers @Natanox you could buy secondhand instead, in order to not further support them. This is also educational regarding e-waste and reuse
