Kano previously released as a computer for children to assemble and learn from -- but now Kano is releasing three new pieces of hardware: a camera kit, a speaker kit, and a pixel kit (which is a 128-point lightboard) as well as Kano Code, a coding platform for kids to learn to code, and Kano World, for those coders to interact and share what they've learned. I love where education is heading!

It's unreal. I bought one of the original computers for my nephew when he was 7 and he completely fell in love with technology. He's now programming. This is such a great company, and I really love the new products.

@paulbz Paul let me reflect that back – Dots is mega.

I would love to buy one for my 7-yo when it is available in India. Keep me informed.

Kano is one of the best things I've seen to teach kids coding! Seen @yonatanrf speak at a TEDx about it as well, awesome sauce :) P.S: I have one myself :D

As a father of two curious children, I think this is a very good idea and it could help to raise a new generation of makers. Congratulations, wonderful job.

In your opinion at what age kids are old enough to enjoy this?
Alex Klein
@paulodef Anyone who can read can start, we've had kids as young as five build a computer with us. Here's a bit more background :) https://techcrunch.com/video/mak...

These are the types of products I'm super excited to see coming to market. It makes learning about software and hardware fun and accessible which is super important when the majority of public schools don't have much more than a course or two on any of this. I'm about to check out the Ted Talk!

My 7-year-old has had the Kano since it made its debut and absolutely loves it! Glad to see the offering being expanded. Can't wait to try some of the new things with her.

These products look great. Are they specifically designed to increase engagement?
Alex Klein
@sam__cash One big change is that you can code these kits from any device – through our creative coding platform, http://art.kano.me, http://world.kano.me. We saw our most engaged users on Kano 1 freely moving from Computer Kit to other devices. Constant challenges, community competition, and the more tactile projects also do good work on this front. Thanks for your question!

I remember convincing my school to buy the original Kano classroom pack off of Kickstarter when it first started and can't say enough how great it's been connecting with Kano. Love what you're doing guys and thank you for changing how kids and adults alike interact with technology! Great work and thank you! Love from Switzerland! -Calum from ISOCS :)
