Today is Science Education Day and #PiDay , a great day to spotlight Raspberry Pi, a series of small computers designed in the UK for teaching computer science.

To host software demonstrations for outreach, STFC networked 20 of these computers together to make a supercomputer.

Based in the Research Complex at Harwell, Ultra and Artemis host a variety of research across multiple disciplines.

From building better batteries to imaging cells, these fast and versatile lasers allow us to get right to the heart of the world around us 🔬. (1/3)
