The kit is designed for students between 6-13 years old to engineer on their own as they learn how it works. With over 100 creative challenges, games, and stories available for kids to try, there are plenty of opportunities for engagement post-build. Students can create their own art, games, and music as well as learn to code!
The original kit from Kano was just the beginning and now they offer different add-ons to help support deeper learning and even more fun. One of those add-ons is the Kano Pixel Kit, which empowers kids to invent and code dazzling lights in up to 16 million different colors. Keep reading to learn more about it!
Since the release of their original Kano Computer kit, the Kano team has released more, including a touchscreen version, pixel kit, motion sensor kit, and—perhaps the most exciting one of them all—the Harry Potter Coding Wand, which happens to be the subject of this week’s Eduporium Experiment!
There are two books kids can follow—one with instructions for building the computer and another that details all of the ways kids can then code with it. Well, now Kano has a few new models (as well as classroom packs), but for this edition of the Eduporium Experiment, we’re taking a look at the Kano Touch Kit and how kids can become engineers.
Now, Kano’s options have expanded and we’re excited to introduce their STEAM Packs, Club Packs, and Classroom Packs for both the traditional Kano and the touchscreen model. With these kits, innovative educators can support up to 30 students and empower them to code, create, and collaborate with all new options!
The Kano team now has a bundled kit complete with a screen and we put that to the test in our office for this edition of the Eduporium Experiment. Just following the instructions was enough because the included illustrations are very clear and easy to follow. I didn’t have to Google anything or spend any extra time pulling up YouTube videos.
