KANO
Kano is a computer anyone can make. Kano's mission is to give young people – and the young at heart – a simple, fun way to make and play with technology, and take control of the world around them.
When you build your own Kano computer, you get a real computer, powered by Raspberry Pi 3 and Kano OS. You get all the apps and programs you need. You get a powerful learn-to-code tool, designed to unlock potential, and unleash creativity.
