Abstract
The field of computer science over the past two decades has witnessed a huge leap
in the areas of improved systems design, hardware processing power and the
development of software that maximizes these advances in systems. This leap can
attributed to continuous innovation that drives the field to new heights at an ever
speedy pace. The pace at which the field is growing requires educators to be
abreast with new and changing technology. It is the desire of educators to have
access to physical laboratories and computing centers in which they can physically
train students. The challenge faced by educators in executing this task is the high
expense that comes with the construction of physical laboratories. This write up
stems from a project that aims to tackle this challenge by providing low powered,
low cost, portable computing systems for students, laboratories and computing
centers using devices such as the Raspberry pi and Cubieboard. Although not a
perfect system, it promises to be a desirable solution that can be adopted across a
wide range of institutions.
