Kano

I just became aware of Kano, a computer and coding kit for kids ages 6 and up. It's a bunch of parts that can be put together to create a fully functioning computer and an operating system that lets them code and create projects. It's like legos but with actual computers. The sample material online makes it look like a rather compelling offer.

I would lament that I wish I had something like this when I was a kid but we did - Construx, Tandy's, Monster Lab, Legos, etc. etc. This is just the next generation of the same type of creative and analytical thinking.
