RESULTS
FINAL PRODUCT
“We watched many tutorials online to learn how to code the Raspberry Pi. This helped us show text on an LCD screen. We also worked on connecting different parts to the Pi. At first, setting up the Raspberry Pi was hard, but our teachers helped us figure it out. Now, we’ve finished designing the product in 3D, and we just need to complete it and print it using a 3D printer.
