Kanos DIY computer teaches kids to code, and now its available to everyone - And kids can instantly see exactly why what theyre seeing on the screen is changing as they tackle new challenges with Kano Blocks. Kano, the runaway Kickstarter success that raised $1.52 million on a promise to teach kids how to code and assemble a Raspberry Pi-based computer, is now widely available to the public. Priced at $149.99, the kit includes everything you need to get started — other than a display, which youll need to provide yourself. (An HDMI cord comes in the box.) But beyond that, its all there: the Raspberry Pi, a custom-made Bluetooth keyboard with built-in trackpad, the plastic case that holds this mini-computer together, and plenty of stickers and colorful options for customizing your Kano. The first of two illustrated guides walks younger users through piecing Kano together, and most everything in the kit is color coded to make setup a breeze for all ages. The second book will teach you how to start using the Kano OS software, which comes preloaded on an SD card that plugs into the Raspberry Pi. https://youtube/watch?v=k7UDqULWzwI
