Kano's build your own computer kit comes with the following plug-and-play components:
Raspberry Pi 3 computer
wireless keyboard
memory card
USB power supply
and an illustrated story book and 2 sheets of stickers and case cards.
No prior knowledge is needed, and the Kano Book -- a step-by-step storybook -- is provided to help guide you.
The kit provides an introduction to various programming languages including Python and Javascript. Kids can learn Python through "Kano Blocks" by making Minecraft and Pong, and can dive into the world of Linux by going on a Terminal Quest and by making Snake.
Some children between 6-8 years old may require parental supervision when reading the Kano Book and assembling the Computer Kit components. Children 8 years and older are proven to be quite self sufficient on their Kano!
