According to Kano’s Kickstarter page, it aims to be: “A computer and coding kit for all ages, all over the world. Simple as Lego, powered by Pi. Make games, learn code, create the future.”
The Kano is as small as a credit card, and its compatible keyboard is built with a trackpad inside.
Kano also included several testimonials from children who expressed their interest in building a computer and how rewarding of an experience it is. One 8-year-old exclaimed: “Adults think we’re incapable, but we made a computer with this like, Matrix code. We’re like super children.”
The $100 (+$20 shipping) kit brings you the Kano instructional books, Kano OS and Levels on 8GB SD card, a DIY Speaker, the Raspberry Pi Model B, Kano Keyboard Combo, custom case, card mods and stencils, HDMI and mini-USB cables, smart power plug (all region pins available), and WiFi power-up.
