Kano Kits – Build, code and play your Computer and Gadgets


Kano Anyone Can Make Kano is a computing company that revolutionized the market with a computer that anyone can make, they created do-it-yourself computers kits for kids easy to build. Its founder, Alex Klein, encourages children to research, build and program their own computer. “Our kits and software give all ages, all over the world, the power to create technology, not just consume it”

In 2013, Kano launched a Kickstarter campaign, hoping to raise $100,000 in a month for his first Kano Computer Kit. They ended up raising $1.5 million.

Why are we in love with Kano Kits?

Kano Computer Kit - Follow the book and build a tablet page-by-page, all by yourself

  • Each kit includes a super well explained book with simple steps of how the different elements and sensors are built, assembled and then programmed. Just follow the book and build a tablet, computer or any gadget page-by-page, all by yourself! Then, code and play.
  • A mix of learning, following instructions and creativity. Kano kits have a building goal and you should follow theinstructions (and be happy with your new creation!). But don’t stop there, you can actually make hundreds of projects with the parts included in the box and the programming. There are no limits.
  • All kits are connected via wireless to any computer. Pieces and sensors can be combined to create more projects, toys and tools. With a bit of code you can customize it to do what you want.
  • Create your own toys, empower your kid. Ask yourself, what can you or your child do with a DIY computer that he does not do with a normal one? The pleasure of building your own toys or gadgets and understanding how they work. This is an amazing gift in itself.
  • There is a Kano community to be inspired, check the code behind any creation and remix it to make it your own.
