Note: Jack founded the Michelin Guide 'Midsummer House'- Cambridge's paramount restaurant. This dining experience is hidden amongst the grassy pastures and grazing cattle of Midsummer Common and perched on the banks of the River Cam. </p><p>In 2008 Jack was one of the co-founders of the Raspberry Pi Foundation alongside other members of the Department and acted as the Foundation's Chair. The project's original goals were modest: to build and distribute low-cost computers for prospective applicants to our Computer Science degree. Initially the project was a "success disaster" as Jack would say as demand far outstripped the low-scale manufacturing plans. Ultimately the Raspberry Pi became the UK's most successful computer with more than 60 million sold to date. Jack was drawn to the educational possibilities of the Raspberry Pi its potential uses in emerging economies and the way it could support self-directed learning.</p> Privately printed for The Navarre Society. hardcover
