Ever dreamt of building your own computer but didn't know where to start? Well, here's your golden opportunity! The award - winning Kano Computer Kit, along with a simple storybook, lets you build a powerful computer and bring it to life. Through easy steps and fun projects, you'll learn to code art, music, apps, games, and more. It's an exciting way to unleash your creativity with technology, all built and coded by you. The kit comes with 10 plug - and - play components like a Raspberry Pi 3 computer, wireless keyboard, programmable light ring, custom case, power and HDMI cables, memory card, USB power supply, an illustrated storybook, 2 sheets of stickers, and case cards. No prior knowledge is required, and the Kano Book, a step - by - step guide, will assist you. It introduces you to programming languages such as Python and Javascript. Kids can learn Python by creating Minecraft and Pong using 'Kano Blocks' and explore Linux through Terminal Quests and making Snake. Kano is widely used in schools across the US, UK, EU, Asia, and parts of Africa. Check out Kano's educator’s page! Some 6 - 8 - year - olds may need parental supervision when reading the Kano Book and assembling the components, while 8 - year - olds and above can handle it independently. Note: the kit doesn't come with a screen. Get the Kano Screen Kit here.

Once it's assembled, start having fun with the projects. You can learn to code art, music, apps, and games. If you're a kid, you can learn Python by making Minecraft and Pong with 'Kano Blocks' and explore Linux by going on Terminal Quests and making Snake. Just a heads - up, kids between 6 - 8 years old might need some help from parents when reading the book and putting the kit together. For maintenance, keep the components in a dry and clean place. Make sure to use the provided power supply to avoid any damage. Remember, this kit doesn't come with a screen, so you'll need to get the Kano Screen Kit separately.
