Raspberry pi 3 are a small single board computer that you can buy standalone or package with power plug and microsd card. The card are important as it's where you'll install your chosen OS.

To think that the original intent for the creation of the raspberry pi was for students to learn computing and programming.
Here's a quick guide on how to install Recalbox on your Raspberry pi 3:
Once, you have bought your own Raspberry pi 3 retro gaming kit. All you need to do is download recalbox OS from their website to your pc. Extract, the zip files.
Make sure your microsd card that you're going to copy those files into are already formatted to FAT32. Once done, select all those extracted files and copy into it.
Eject and take out your microsd card. Insert to your raspberry pi 3.
Make sure everything like your keyboard, controller or mouse are already hooked up.
Switch on the power to the raspberry pi. It will automatically boot up and install the Recalbox.
After the OS are installed, you'll then need to setup your wifi and controller configurations. Look around the menu and get familiar with it.
There are already some games on it and you can immediately play them. That's it!
