Saying Raspberry Pi is saying education. There are zillion Raspberry Pi's 
out there.
Almost all of them are running Raspbian, now called Raspberry Pi OS.
On every raspbian system there is an implementation of Mathematica.
Wolfram was clever when he decided to make Matematica available to the
people of Raspberries.

I did some experimentation out of an old book Mathematica Second Edition.
You can really do some math on a Raspberry Pi 4.

I think it is of major importance to have at least a binary for Raspberry 
Pi OS!

I'm old and have no time and no energy to pursue this to the end, but I plea
someone would take this serious.

I wanted to start a discussion on the need to be present on the Raspberry 
Pi platform.
But my intentions were buried under a lot of technicalities.

SAGE was intended to by an opensource alternative for the big M's, among 
them Mathematica.
What we see on the rasbian distribution:
du:
32000 Wolfram/WolframEngine/12.0/AddOns/Applications
36244 Wolfram/WolframEngine/12.0/AddOns
1097480 Wolfram/WolframEngine/12.0
1097484 Wolfram/WolframEngine
1101392 Wolfram/
root@rasp4g:/opt# 

You see Wolfram was very clever in getting Mathematica in raspbian: 1.1 GB 
of disk space

We will never get that space in the official distro, but I plea to make 
Sagemath 
more available and known on the Raspberry Pi platform.

There are a lot of computer labs in schools and colleges all running 
rasbian.
And users easily link Math and Mathematics to Mathematica.
Try Google Search: math Raspberry Pi of raspberry math
and you will be overwhelmed by Wolfram's Mathematica

Do a Google Search: raspberry pi sagemath
and you see some pages from the year 2013 and a page of my website.

The only thing we can do is to try getting Sagemath more visible.
In documentation, on the website and make a binary available.
