What a fantastic offering from the Raspberry Pi Foundation! If you're looking for a fun, interactive way to introduce your kids to coding and digital making, then pull up a chair or two, make sure your Raspberry Pi is set up, and start making!

Each Thursday, the Raspberry Pi Foundation live streams its "Digital Making at Home" series on youtube at 3:30 PST / 6:30 EST.

On the live stream, the team (and sometimes guest/s) introduce young people to new topics like GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces), HTML, Scratch, Graphics, Retrogames, and more - through activities that often feel a bit like retro games themselves. One live stream, for example, introduced kids to game-making through the retro-like game, BBQ Dad! (Did you know you can control a grill with a Raspberry Pi in real life? Cool, right?!)
