Raspberry Pi
"The Raspberry Pi is a tiny and affordable computer that you can use to learn programming through fun, practical projects. It's capable of doing everything you'd expect a desktop computer to do, from browsing the internet and playing high-definition video, to making spreadsheets, word-processing, and playing games."
