Kano presents a DIY laptop for kids

Portable Kano programming for kids

Kano was born in one of the projects of the popular platform Crowdfunding Kickstarter. Since then, has been nominated as one of the most successful companies in the educational field when it comes to programming for children.

He says that the best way to learn is to do things fun. And Kano already has several products in its catalog that are committed to this method. The last to be added is the DIY laptop (Do It Yourself); that is, they have added support for the screen; is included a rechargeable battery to be able to work without being connected to the current and a little more.

The new Kano kit will continue to build on the Kano OS operating system, a system that allows the youngest - and the oldest - to learn programming in a fun and enjoyable way based on blocks. Also, the sales kit comes completely disassembled, so the first thing young users should do is build this fun laptop from scratch. An instruction book is attached inside the box that will guide the user through all the steps to follow. In addition, a 150 hour programming package to be able to enjoy the equipment once assembled.

Meanwhile, one of the new components of the kit that will give the invention autonomy is its rechargeable battery. This one gets a 3.000 milliamp capacity and the company claims it can reach 4 hours of operation.

For the rest, you will have a nice keyboard that you can transport on the screen support (10,1 inches measures this one). In addition, the set is based on a Raspberry Pi 3 that will also provide different USB ports, HDMI and Ethernet and WiFi connection. Finally, we need to tell you that the price of this Kano laptop will have a price of 329,99 eurosPerhaps somewhat high if we compare it with some laptops in the sector and with a screen of similar size.
