The Raspberry Pi is a basic gadget – the size of a credit card – that can be hooked up to a keyboard and monitor, and used as a personal computer. Devised by Eben Upton as a way of getting a chip into every classroom for a minimum outlay, this British-made device has become a runaway success. Raspberry Pis are so cheap to make that they were given away free with a computer magazine in 2015. Eben talks to

Jim Al-Khalili about his vision to make computers accessible to all.
