Objetives: To implement a low cost computer laboratory, using free hardware such as Raspberry PI and free software such as Linux, for the support of primary schools that do not have the economic capacity to solve the purchase of a conventional computer laboratory, in order to increase the interest of students from first to 6th grade of the use of ICT in daily life. Methodology: An analysis of the different existing linux distributions for the raspberry PI was carried out, as well as the different free software programs that would be used in the classrooms, such as mathematics, history, reading, science and programming principles. Contribution: The use of free software tools in the classroom, is not only a matter of economy, but also the teaching of the 4 freedoms of free software, use, share, distribute, and the possibility of improving it knowing the source code. It also promotes collaborative work, and the use of free hardware has the advantage of technological independence.
