Can Minecraft help you do anything besides procrastinate? Glad you asked. It can also help you learn real engineering skills … yeah, seriously. Get the Piper Raspberry Pi Computer Kit to see for yourself. It’s just $239 at the Mary Sue Shop.

The Piper Raspberry Pi kit makes it clear what your elementary school math teacher meant when she said learning is fun. The kit makes it easy for anyone—even kids as young as seven years old—to learn how to build a computer while playing Minecraft. You’ll learn how to build a controller to navigate in the game, add switches to open secret doors, create LED light proximity sensors and buzzers to find rewards, and make your own custom levels. The kit comes with everything you need—the Raspberry Pi 2, a case that you can customize, a speaker, bread boards, buttons, switches, LED lights, and more. They’ve thought of everything—even the part where you can share your creations with others.

Get the Piper Raspberry Pi Computer Kit for $239 at the Mary Sue Shop.
