As you know on KiddyCharts, we love to encourage kids to learn…it is really one of the key objectives of the site – from learning to behaviour to learning to craft and have fun!
Today, we have a simply wonderful giveaway for our readers, an amazing computer, the Kano kit, which is designed to help your kids learn to code; but without the need for the geek gene. We will be reviewing the product on the blog in the coming weeks, but you can get your hands on a computer for yourself and the kids in our latest giveaway.
The product is simply stunning to look at and retails at c. £119.99….
Kano’s have been specifically tailored for kids learning and can:
- Demystify hadware: kids get to assemble the computer themselves, with the help of a wee story book
- Get kids coding knoweldge: you can then learn to code the interface, and explore loads of games that help your kids expand their knowledge from coding Minecraft to solving problems with code
- Develop problem solving: If your kids are learning coding at school; why not find a way of making homework fun with this toy?
- Inspire creative minds: Get your kids thinking up their own Apps, and getting creative with technology…you never know what it can lead to, do you?
- Give you a break! Kano is designed to provide a “story” for your kids, so you don’t need to be on hand to help – kids are guided through the processes involved. In addition, there are resources on the internet to provide a safe experience for them too.

As more and more will be done online I think it's important for kids to learn as much as they can to do with how things are done on computers as it will help them with their future
