Inside you’ll find a Raspberry Pi Zero W, the official case (with three interchangeable covers), SD card with NOOBS pre-loaded, not to mention USB and HDMI adapter cables. The accompanying 116-page book is packed with beginner’s guides to help you master your new Raspberry Pi!

  • Discover amazing software built for creative learning
  • Control electronics: buttons, lights, and sensors

You can download this book free now and forever, but buying in digital & print supports the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s charitable mission to democratise computing.

This book was written using an earlier version of Raspberry Pi OS. Please use Raspberry Pi OS (Legacy) for full compatibility. See magpi.cc/legacy for more information.
