How the Raspberry Pi is helping refugee children – podcast

This week on Tech Weekly with Aleks Krotoski, we talk to two innovative educators based in Lebanon who are using tech and coding to give hope to the hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugee children. James Cranwell Ward, Innovation officer for Unicef Lebanon, and Eliane Metni, director of the International Education Association, both based in Beirut, talk about their plans to take the Raspberry Pi and simple DIY tech into the refugee camps, and discuss the role of coding and simple tech in offering educational advancement and hope for these children.

Also: Aleks is joined by the Guardian tech team, Charles Arthur, Alex Hern and Samuel Gibbs, to discuss the recent theft of user information from eBay and how to protect your passwords online, why the social app Foursquare is splitting in two and why Google thinks the future of advertising is on our fridge and washing machines.
