PA Raspberry Pi Competition
Our annual Raspberry Pi Competition is a celebration of STEM education, giving schoolchildren the support and opportunity to develop products that positively impact people’s lives.
Using their design and coding skills and a Raspberry Pi microcomputer, the school teams put their ingenuity to the test to come up with inspiring solutions to global challenges
The theme: Building a positive human future
Creating a world that is safer, healthier, and happier takes bold ideas from bright minds. Our Raspberry Pi Competition asks the next generation of innovators to use their imagination and the latest tech to address today’s biggest challenges and help build a brighter future.
We’re especially keen to see how advanced technologies such as AI can be used to have a positive impact in areas as diverse as social care, transport, healthcare and security.
In developing your product, consider how to make it is as inclusive and accessible as possible. This means designing it so everyone, including people with disabilities or different ways of thinking, can use it easily.
Your solution could link to any of the five areas below, which are all fundamental to creating a better future:
How can we make a positive impact by our own behaviours and choices?
How can we improve people’s health and well-being?
How can we build safer and secure societies for everyone?
How can we accelerate the adoption of greener, cleaner energy usage?
How can we work together in aware, considerate, inclusive, and diverse teams?
The deadline for submitting inventions for the current competition is 23 March 2026.
