The **Elecrow CrowPi 3** is a kit that provides a bunch of tools and resources to help young people develop computer science skills. The kit is about the size of a small, but chunky laptop, measuring 285 x 185 x 38mm (11.2″ x 7.3″ x 1.5″). But instead of a large display and keyboard, it has a small screen, a bunch of sensors, and support for a wide range of electronic components. Powered by a Raspberry Pi 5, the CrowPi 3 can also be used to program with Arduino Nano, micro:bit and Raspberry Pi Pico hardware. After unveiling the kit in February, Elecrow has now launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for the CrowPi 3. Backers can reserve one with a pledge of $159 or more and kits should begin shipping in August, 2025. The $159 price is for a Super Early Bird reward version of a CrowPi 3 Basic Kit that comes with “basic sensors and components (excluding a Raspberry Pi).” You can also reserve an “Advanced Kit” for a pledge of $289 or more if you want a kit that comes with a Raspberry Pi 5 featuring 8GB of RAM, a 32GB microSD card with software, a battery, and wireless keyboard and mouse. As the name suggests, the CrowPi 3 isn’t the first CrowPi device from the company. Elecrow been making Raspberry Pi-based computer science education kits since 2018 and last summer the company also expanded into more traditional laptops with the Raspberry Pi 5-powered CrowView Note 14. But the CrowPi 3 isn’t meant to be used as a general purpose computer – like the company’s earlier models in the series, it’s a device designed for tinkering and learning, not for general purpose computing. The CrowPi 3 kit features a 4.3 inch 800 x 480 pixel, 300 nit capacitive touchscreen IPS LCD display that can fold down flat or flip forward for easy viewing. Elecrow says it can either be configured for use as the system’s primary display or as a second screen that can be used to display system status information. The body of the computer kit measures 2895 x 185 x 38mm (11.2″ x 7.3″ x 1.5″) and the complete system weighs 1.1 kg (about 2.4 pounds). Ports include: * 1 x USB Type-C (for 5V/5A power input, 5V/2A output, and data input or output) * 1 x USB Type-C (for data output and 5V/2A power output only) * 1 x USB Type-C (debug interface only) * 1 x HDMI * 1 x Gigabit Ethernet * 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbps) * 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A (480 Mbps) * 1 x 3.5mm headphone/speaker output * 40-pin Raspberry Pi 5 GPIO header There’s also support for WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 LE, and a bunch of additional I/O features including a 5-way joystick, capacitive touch sensor, 4 buttons, a microphone and 2MP camera, plus sensors including: * Gyroscope/accelerometer * RFID sensor * Ultrasonic sensor (to detect presence, position, and speed of objects) * Flame sensor * Voltage detector * Infrared receiver * Temperature and Humidity sensor * Hall sensor * Ambient Light sensor * Vibration motor * Servo interface * Buzzer * 6 LED lights * 8 x 8 RGB LED light matrix There are also I2C and UART interfaces and two breadboards for connecting electronic components. While there’s a charging circuit and a battery holder for 18650 batteries, the batteries are not included and need to be purchased separately. And while you can use any wired or wireless keyboard with the CrowPi 3, since it’s not a laptop, the keyboard will need to be placed in front of the device for use. But for easy storage, the CrowPi 3 is designed to hold a keyboard in place magnetically when you place one on top of the kit. Elecrow offers over 100 courses to help students (and parents or educators) learn how to use the various components in a variety of projects. _This article was first published February 12, 2025 and most recently updated June 5, 2025._ ## Support Liliputing Liliputing's primary sources of revenue are advertising and affiliate links (if you click the "Shop" button at the top of the page and buy something on Amazon, for example, we'll get a small commission).
