This issue is especially important when Physical Computing is not used mainly to teach engineering skills but to foster creativity and innovation. This empirical study presents a design case study that took place while we were trying to figure out how to best integrate miniature computers like the Raspberry Pi into our "Programmable Brick" platform, the GoGo Board, with the goal of making new and complex functionalities, such as face detection and social media integration, learnable by beginners.
