PA’s Raspberry Pi competition - an annual contest that challenges school children and college students to put their programming skills to the test and use the Raspberry Pi to make the world a better place: from innovating to help the environment, to improving health and wellbeing. The winning prize is £1000. 

The competition includes the following categories: 

• PA’s Primary School Award: academic years 4-6 

• PA’s Secondary School Award: academic years 7-11 

• PA’s Sixth Form and College Award: academic years 12-13

The annual Raspberry Pi Competition promotes STEM education by challenging school children and college students to invent systems that could benefit society using their engineering and coding skills, and a Raspberry Pi microcomputer. The ingenuity of children is remarkable, so PA Raspberry Pi Competition give it a place to thrive.

This year is the tenth anniversary, so PA is making things bigger, better and more inspirational than ever. That's why this year's theme is put to a public vote, asking teachers, students and its partners what they think would be most inspiring. And they chose innovations to save the planet.

As the UN shares a bleak outlook on climate change, the need to act quickly on sustainability has never been more apparent. So, for the 2022 PA Raspberry Pi Competition, it is challenging 8- to 18-year-olds to design technology that will help make the world a more sustainable place.
