The document provides an introduction and overview of getting started with the Raspberry Pi. It discusses that the Raspberry Pi is an inexpensive, credit-card sized computer that can perform tasks like a regular desktop computer. It also explains that the Raspberry Pi can be used for a wide variety of projects and is aimed to help kids learn programming. The document then outlines the basic hardware requirements needed, including an SD card, display cables, keyboard, mouse, and power supply. It also provides references for more information on what the Raspberry Pi is and how to set it up.

4. What is Raspberry Pi ?
The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that
plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard
keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables
people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how to
program in languages like Scratch and Python. 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.
What’s more, the Raspberry Pi has the ability to interact with the
outside world, and has been used in a wide array of digital maker
projects, from music machines and parent detectors to weather
stations and tweeting birdhouses with infra-red cameras. We want
to see the Raspberry Pi being used by kids all over the world to
learn to program and understand how computers work.

6. Bare minimum hardware requirements
SD Card
We recommend an 8GB class 4 SD card – ideally preinstalled with NOOBS. You can buy a card with NOOBS
pre-installed, or you can download it for free from our downloads page.
Display and connectivity cables
Any HDMI/DVI monitor or TV should work as a display for the Pi . For best results, use one with HDMI
input, but other connections are available for older devices. Use a standard Ethernet cable for internet
access.
Keyboard and mouse
Any standard USB keyboard and mouse will work with your Raspberry Pi.
Power supply
Use a 5V micro USB power supply to power your Raspberry Pi. Be careful that whatever power supply you
use outputs at least 5V; insufficient power will cause your Pi to behave in strange ways.
NOT ESSENTIAL BUT HELPFUL TO HAVE
Internet connection
To update or download software, we recommend that you connect your Raspberry Pi to the internet
either via and ethernet cable or a wifi adapter.
