Order a brand new Sensor Pod and plant a tree with our partners, One Tree Planted

SOLVE REAL-WORLD CHALLENGES.

Learn to code and unleash your creativity to design exciting projects that solve real-world challenges with our new Sensor Pods.

The new Sensor Pods are packaged into small biodegradable, paper pulp pods that double as seedling pots. You'll be learning to code whilst growing your own plants and veg, and before you do, you’ll be planting a tree in one of four continents across the world with One Tree Planted!

EXPAND YOUR pi-top [4].

The Sensor Pods can be used with pi-top [4], our mini desktop computer, powered by the new Raspberry Pi 4.

With pi-top [4], you can design, code and make simple practical projects, and build on them to create anything you can imagine using one easy-to-use, expandable system.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

2x Sensors
