Eben Upton

Founder

Raspberry Pi Foundation

Eben Upton holds a PhD in computer science from the University of Cambridge. In 2006, while working for Broadcom and teaching at Cambridge, Eben noticed a sharp decline in qualified engineering candidates. This insight was the driving force for a project he started to work on at night and on weekends. Eben has a vision to provide the world with a $25 hackable Linux computer that enables students to learn computer programming and engineering in their bedroom. This effort later became the Raspberry Pi Foundation ( raspberrypi.org), which is already making an impact on education in computer science and serving as a tremendous catalyst in the hacker community, as well as in the maker economy, where the Raspberry Pi has been well received.
