Since its launch just over 12 months ago, over a million Raspberry Pi's have been sold!  The sub-£30 computer has been hailed by some as the answer to the problem of the lack of Computer Science graduates.

We've been looking into the potential educational impact of this incredible device.  For more info about pi's in schools, please go to Pi's in Schools
