The Raspberry Pi is useful for streaming games, running operating systems, making an NAS, playing retro games, and more.
Unsurprisingly, you can use a Raspberry Pi to do some really cool artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) work. Scratch and Raspberry Pi teamed up to make a tutorial that shows you how to make your own custom instrument, whether it be a drum kit or a violin, that can play sounds through a synthesizer. All you need is Steam installed on your computer and a Steam Link-enabled device linked to your TV. The Raspberry Pi 4 isn’t the fastest hardware around, so you may need to stream your games at 1080p or even 720p to get as little lag as possible. RetroPie is one of the most popular Raspberry Pi projects, as it amasses a ton of emulators into one place to play all your old favorites. People of all ages have loved toying with it for years now, so we’ve dug up some beginner-friendly projects to introduce you to the magic you can create with a Raspberry Pi.
