Make: Getting Started with Raspberry Pi

I'm of two minds about co-ed. It's really important to find a safe place to learn and it can be hard to do that as a girl in a boy dominated field. She's going to have to do it some day, but it's probably best to build up some confidence in a safe environment. I'd spend some time finding girl only or mixed successfully mixed groups and programs. As for the technical side: Make's Getting Started with Raspberry Pi book is one of the best introductions to computing I've ever seen. It starts at the beginning, uses simple language, goes deep and provides hands-on experience. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1457186128/ref=oh_aui_sear...
