Step into the AI Era with the All-New CrowPi 3

Reflecting on our journey, Elecrow's CrowPi series has always been driven by a single mission: to bring the joy of creating with code and hardware to learners, developers, and educators worldwide. We believe the best way to learn is by doing, and since our very first product, countless users have joined us on this incredible adventure, bringing their ideas to life with circuits and code.

Each member of our family has won over the community with its unique charm. The CrowPi Basic Kit, with its compact, all-in-one design tailored for kids and beginners, became the "first maker computer" in countless homes, making complex programming feel as simple and fun as playing with LEGOs.

"Good kit for students to learn. And the case is very cool. I love the case most!”

--- By Colin

Next, the CrowPi-L offered a seamless transition from beginner to advanced learner with its true laptop form factor. It wasn't just a learning tool; it was a fully functional, portable Raspberry Pi laptop.

"...when I got it, it was beyond my imagination, it combines very well with Raspberry Pi, as the name says, it is a Raspberry Pi computer! My son and I are following its tutorial step by step and I am sure we will have a great time!“

--- By Gage

And the powerful CrowPi2, with its highly-integrated, "all-in-one" design, cleverly packed over 22 sensors and modules into a portable case, becoming a true "mobile maker lab."

"... I've received my kits about a week ago (x3) and must say I was NOT disappointed. The included learning material is very well-done, the development board works very well...."

--- By Wagner's TechTalk

CrowPi 3 with AI upgraded

CrowPi 3 with AI upgraded

CrowPi 3 isn't just a tool; it's your partner in bringing countless ideas to life. Imagine:

For the curious student,

CrowPi 3 is your ultimate learning companion. In class, you can use it to learn programming by building a Tetris game from scratch and watching it come alive on the RGB matrix. At home, it becomes your personal AI language tutor, ready to practice with you anytime. It’s no longer a boring homework assignment; it's your magic box for exploring the world and bringing wild ideas to life.

For the parent hoping to guide their child into tech,

CrowPi 3 is the perfect opportunity for quality family time. This weekend, say goodbye to passive screen time and say hello to building a voice-activated night light for the bedroom. Or, create a smart piggy bank that recognizes coins and plays a fun sound effect with every deposit. You're not just lecturing; you're igniting a passion for science by creating together.

For the hands-on maker and DIY enthusiast,

CrowPi 3 is your personal smart workshop. Sitting at your workbench, you pick up an unknown sensor. Just hold it up to the camera and ask, "Hey CrowPi, what is this?" and its model and pinout instantly appear on the screen. When you're researching an international project, it becomes your personal translator, helping you practice conversational fluency. It’s more than a tool that follows commands; it’s an intelligent partner that learns and solves problems alongside you.

For every STEAM educator wondering how to channel students' passion for gaming into a love for coding, CrowPi 3 is your answer.

Imagine a classroom where students don't just play Minecraft—they command it with code. Instead of dryly explaining syntax, you guide them to write a few lines of Python that let a physical button on the CrowPi 3 instantly build a massive castle in-game. Or, they can wave their arm to make their character jump using a gesture sensor, bridging the gap between the physical and virtual worlds. With CrowPi 3, Minecraft transforms from just a game into a tangible, programmable 3D lab, sparking unparalleled focus and enthusiasm in your students. You're not just teaching them to code; you're developing their logic and creativity through the joy of play.

Right now, this wave of innovation is catching fire across the globe!
