Kano unlocks a realm of magic for kids. It reinvents computing by making education-centric activities child-friendly & fun.
Kano’s DIY toy-coloured computer kits encourage children to not only build their own device, but use it in a wonder-eliciting fashion to delve into the world of coding, science & computer hardware.
Originally launched by Founders Alex Klein, Saul Klein, Yonatan Raz-Fridman in 2013, the company’s 1st Kano run was only set at 1000 units. Today, with funding from Microsoft & others (about $44.5 million at present), they plan to become a household name. Kano is like a Raspberry Pi, but for children. Kids get a boxful of kid-friendly parts to construct their own device, which means that should anything break, it’s also easy to fix.
