Piper Make

Welcome to Piper Make—your portal to start creating with technology right here on your browser. Here you’ll find new projects, tutorials, and ways to interact with the new Raspberry Pi Pico—all so you can build cool stuff and share it with the world.

New tutorials are released monthly to accompany the hardware shipped to members of the Monthly Makers Club, but you can also create your own projects and import projects with any compatible hardware. Not a member of the Monthly Makers Club yet? Sign up now.

Piper was started with a simple vision — to inspire kids to use tech to create the next big thing. We’ve created Piper Make, the first ever drag-and-drop coding platform for the Raspberry Pi Pico to do just that.

Welcome to Piper Make. What will you create?

Welcome to Piper MAKE!

Piper MAKE uses a really neat technology called the Web Serial API. This technology allows your browser to connect directly to your Raspberry Pi Pico.

Unfortunately, Piper MAKE will not work with your current browser. We would love to support all browsers and operating systems, but at this time, only the broswers shown (Chrome and Edge) support the Web Serial API.

Clicking one of the icons to the left will open a tab for that broswer's download page.
