The Kano Computer Kit also includes access to Kano World, a global community of creators who share their inspiration and coding creations.
A COMPUTER ANYONE CAN MAKE, THEN USE TO LEARN TO CODE
For most people, a computer is a mystery. How it works may as well be magic. The Kano Computer Kit includes everything you need to build your own computer with no tech know-how required. Inside the box are all the parts, pieces, boards and components needed to assemble a real, working computer. But you don’t just connect the pieces like a puzzle, you follow along with the included book that walks you through the process step-by-step. You learn about the technology as you complete the project, and soon know exactly how everything works.
Once you’ve built your computer, use it to learn how to code. With Kano’s fun coding challenges, you’ll proceed from beginner to mastering programming languages like Python and JavaScript. With the Kano Computer Kit, you’ll be a maker who builds their own PC and a creator that writes the code for its applications.
LEARN BY MAKING, HACK MINECRAFT, ENJOY 100+ APPS
As you learn coding with your Kano Computer Kit, you’ll unlock the ability to let your ingenuity and creativity control the bits instead of passively consuming content. You’ll be able to make your own interactive animations and apps. Build your own virtual musical instruments and use them to create musical masterpieces. You won’t just play video games, your understanding of the code behind the software will let you take control of them and change the rules, adding your own touch to classics like Snake, Pong, and even Minecraft.
When you want to take a break from coding, your Kano computer has access to over 100 apps. You can watch YouTube videos, browse the web, get productive with Google apps, chat with your friends on What’sApp, research a project on Wikipedia or take your programming skills to the next level with Scratch and Code Academy.
ENDLESS CREATIVITY
