the integration of low-cost computing platforms in educational environments has become a pivotal strategy for enhancing STEM education and promoting digital literacy. This paper investigates the role of the Raspberry Pi, a compact and affordable single-board computer, as a transformative tool for hands-on learning in both formal and informal educational settings. By leveraging its versatility, open-source ecosystem, and support for various programming languages and hardware interfaces, the Raspberry Pi enables students to engage in practical, project-based learning that bridges theoretical knowledge with real-world application. The study explores the deployment of Raspberry Pi-based modules in classrooms and laboratories, highlighting its effectiveness in teaching programming, electronics, and system design. Quantitative and qualitative analyses demonstrate improved student engagement, increased conceptual understanding, and significant cost savings compared to traditional computing solutions. The results suggest that the Raspberry Pi is not only a viable educational tool but also a catalyst for innovation and inclusivity in technology-driven education. The paper concludes with recommendations for curriculum integration, scalability, and future developments in educational technology using Raspberry Pi.
