All about life at pi-top
The SXSW PanelPicker community voting is now open! Help shape the SXSW Edu Conference program by voting on which sessions you would like to see in March 2019.

“Let them try the technology and see what they can do with it” says Dr LaRue Moore of the IT Academy at Kennedy High School in Richmond, California, “because they need to feel like they can succeed in today’s world.” Many of the students at Kennedy High School have more than their fair share of […]
If you weren’t one of the lucky ISTE 2018 attendees that managed to grab a copy (they disappeared fast from our booth!), don’t panic, you can enjoy the digital version of the magazine right here: The power of Learning by Making In this second issue, we dive into the purpose of education, why making is so […]
It’s the biggest education tech conference in America, and pi-top was one of the hottest booths on the floor, so here’s what went down when we hit ISTE2018.
The pi-top team are thrilled to be at ISTE again this year. We’re looking forward to welcoming you to our amazing booth (number #812 folks) and hope you’ll join in one of our practical workshops or listen to one of our amazing programme of talks.

In January, the pi-topTEAM showcased our learning by making ecosystem at Bett in London and FETC in Orlando and just a […]
This year started with the chaos of Bett and the beginning of our robot build. Our team hit the ground running but with trips to Australia, Antigua and Brazil, we had to think hard about how to split resources to ensure time wasn’t being wasted. Especially since we were getting increasingly concerned by all the […]
Before Christmas, we received our amazing Max robot chassis from Brian Corteil. The plan was to use this as a test robot to get our code up and running before using components and modifying the chassis in a uniquely pi-top way. Once we received our box of exciting hardware, we all agreed it would be […]
With a limited number of free spaces still available, pi-top’s hands-on STEAM workshops at Bett 2018 are designed and run by our in-house educationalists. We are on the precipice of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, characterised by artificial intelligence, automation, self-driving vehicles, ubiquitous mobile super-computing and so forth. These advances will create new and unexpected employment opportunities […]
