Set up a Pi, learn Linux and Python, and build GPIO, sensor, camera and network projects with a mentor beside you.
Free, no-obligation chat · Affordable plans that fit your budget · Start this week
About this course
A Raspberry Pi is a small, low-cost computer that runs Linux and has pins to control lights, sensors and motors. That mix is powerful, and also confusing at first: flashing the SD card, using the terminal, file permissions, wiring GPIO pins safely, and knowing whether a problem is in Linux, in Python or in the circuit.
This course follows the official Raspberry Pi documentation and the standard Linux and Python basics: setting up Raspberry Pi OS, the command line, files and packages, Python programming, GPIO control with the gpiozero library, sensors, the camera, networking and remote access, web and automation projects, and a final build. Each module lists its topics and what you will be able to do at the end.
Learn with an affordable 1:1 online mentor who guides each build with short examples and helps you fix problems as they come up. Students and adults are both welcome. MentorNxt has free self-study lessons for Java and Python only, so Raspberry Pi is taught through mentoring. Message us on WhatsApp or email, or fill in the short form, for a free, no-obligation chat. We will suggest a plan that fits your budget and flexible timings, and you can start this week.

Learn by doing
Read temperature and humidity every minute, log the data to a CSV file and show the latest values on a small web page served by the Pi.
A PIR sensor wakes the camera, which saves a time-stamped photo each time movement is detected.
A soil moisture sensor and an LED or buzzer that warns you when the plant needs water, with readings stored for later.
A reaction game with buttons and LEDs that scores each round, written with gpiozero events.
A Flask app that shows sensor readings and lets you switch an LED on and off from your phone browser.
