Schools want engaging ways to teach computing fundamentals but modern systems abstract too much. A retro-style kit could illustrate core concepts with physical interfaces and simple architectures.
Create Raspberry Pi-based kits resembling 80s microcomputers but with curated lessons connecting vintage concepts to modern tech. Include programming challenges and expansion modules.
Schools and maker spaces would buy classroom sets. Adult hobbyists might pay premium for limited editions.
Start with one well-documented model before expanding the historical range.
Risk is being squeezed between cheap generic boards and polished edu-tech solutions.
