Raspberry Pi was founded in the UK in 2009. Eben Upton, one of the founders of Raspberry Pi, created the first Raspberry Pi with the purpose of solving the issue of the reduction of the student population in computational science at Cambridge university. The ease of access and simplicity made Raspberry Pi the brand leader PC in Britain and sells over 2 million devices within two years. Raspberry Pi is available in the world through the Foundation’s website.
