Research and impact
Through research and impact evaluation, we deepen our understanding of how young people learn about computing and where we can make the biggest difference.
Research work
To advance the field of computing education, we undertake academic research in collaboration with the University of Cambridge at the Raspberry Pi Computing Education Research Centre. We also bring together researchers and educators across the globe in regular research seminars. Find our research projects, upcoming seminars, and publications on our research pages.

Research-informed resources
The latest computing education research informs our teaching and learning resources.
Based on current evidence about the best ways to teach and learn about computing, we have developed principles and taxonomies that shape the educational materials and products we create. We also share research-to-practice resources to help teachers apply research in their classroom.
