What appeals to you about a Kano?
It looks great – love that kids can learn!
This looks so cool I’m really intrigued
Sounds amazing. Clever way for kids to experiment and achieve something themselves
We’re a geeky family – especially my husband who knows very advanced coding techniques – so I’d love to try out a Kano with the kids (and it also has a great design).
I love the fact it resembles Lego! Who doesn’t love Lego! It looks appealing to children x
I love that kids can learn how a computer works as well as what it does. Great idea.
The sounds would amazing 🙂
I want to learn to code with my kids and this looks fantastic
I love that it encourages children to be creative, my son loves lego and computers so this would be perfect for him!
This is a great idea! I know a certain little boy who’d love to try out following in his daddy’s footsteps 🙂
it looks different and great for kids to learn with
I love it looks like Lego it’s very cool. My boys would love this
It sounds so cool, and nice and easy to use!
I’m hoping my grandkids will learn enough about coding from using this so that they’ll be able to teach an oldie like me how to do the same.
What a great way for kids to learn programming. It looks fun and likely to keep them interested.
It looks like great fun!
I love that it makes computers understandable for kids
An early chance to develop coding skills!
It sounds great, really interested in this for my son
The fact it promotes coding for kids
That it makes code simple for kids. If kids learn to crack code at an early age then it could lead to a great career in their adult lives.
I love the design,
It sounds like a fun way to learn an important skill.
it looks like good fun
That it encourages kids to get involved in computers
i love that something like this has come out as my eldest son is really into computers and building things 🙂
It looks great fun xx
I love that it teaches while still being fun!!
I think its a great idea & my nine year old son has been talking, or should I say hinting, about them for a while now.
This looks amazing and a great way to help with the new coding lessons at school and a real achievement once they have put it together 🙂
That its challening for children & get them to understand how technology works & there should be more product like this on the market.
A learning curve for the children is a great idea x
It’s fun, but teaching very useful skills
Wow, what a fab idea and a great way of helping kids learn something they’ll likely need at a young age
It looks challenging but fun
Love this and really want the win 🙂
I was literally showing my youngest son the Kano last night, he has recently started coding and I thought this might be an ideal extension to that.
I think its great to get kids into programming and an tool that makes this easier is a brilliant thing!
This looks an amazing way to teach myself, let alone the kids! 🙂
I love that it is a fun way to teach children about coding and technology at the same time
My daughter is really interested in this.
Looks brilliant! I love how it teaches a child some great skills but in a fun way x

Good luck all
Wow, this looks great! Fab that kids can see electronics work and try to make it themselves. 🙂 x
I know a young lad who would love this.
my eldest has asked if he can do coding club, i had no idea what it was. this is brilliant in a time where computers are used to often and to teach young children about it
Love that it’s a great way into computing for kids
I love the fact that they have to first build it and then the world is their platform, they are free to code and do whatever they can dream of on it.
my older boy and youngest could use this! I have to have one!
A fab giveaway, I’ve been looking at these this week as a birthday present for The Boy 🙂 *crosses fingers*
oooo very snazzy!
I like that it’s so modern looking
😀

I think it would be both educational and fun.
Looks really educational 😀 xxx
So cool & geeky – love it 🙂
It’s a good into to coding for kids. Get them interested!
That you can learn coding easily 🙂
It sounds like they can make learning code fun which is brilliant
I love the way that it takes me back to the 80’s, when the early kit computers where coming out, and we rolled up and sleeves and programmed, experimented and discovered. I really hope that initiatives like this will grasp the imagination of Youth today too.
I love how it makes computer coding far less daunting to children
it looks great fun and am sure our grandchildren would love it
Fantastic way for kids to learn programming !
looks brilliant xx
great learning tool
Looks really cool, great for kids!
good learning tool but fun also
Teaches children computing from an age when they absorb information like a sponge. Great idea!
Great Idea and great to help kids to learn
I love the fact that it helps kids to learn how to code themselves, that’s fantastic. As someone who dabbled in the realms of C and C++ I think learning to code in any language is pretty awesome.
I love how involved this will get children, fantastic idea.
Fab to get kids into computing
I love that it gives kids the control to experiment and create themselves!
I love that it helps kids create instead of just playing games
This would show my nieces that you can do alot more than just play games on a computer. It puts fun and learning all into one
What a cool computer. Love that it’s orange….
Learning code is really important for kids & hopefully I would pick up on it too as it’s something I have been meaning to learn.
I like the fact Kano is a story, as oppose to a boring bog standard manual and the fact it has illustrated ideas and simple steps, which is easier to follow.
how creative it is
It’s educational but fun at the same time
It looks very enjoyable to do
Coding seems to be in the news quite a lot at the moment, love this, thanks
I love the fact that my son would go crazy for this! It looks so cool #fingerscrossed
This looks lego like which would make it even more attractive for my children, a really funky piece of equipment
it teaches an important skill
My son would love this, I love that he can build it himself
I like it because it’s like some of the old challenging, educational toys brought right up to date.
id love to win this looks amazing ! i really love how simple it seems to use great giveaway x
I love its simple stripped down design.
that children can learn to code, seems we severely lack coding and other essential computer skills in our schools these days. not sure how they can call it computer studies when all they do is learn how to make files and send email
I like that it’s customizable – my kid can really take ownership of HIS kit!
Sounds like the perfect next step for a Lego and Minecraft addict
My daughter would absolutely love this learning to code is a great skill for kids to have!
That I know my daughter would love it. She is enjoying coding at school
just how amazing it is that the kids can build there own computer
looks amazing for the kids to learn on
that it is great for kids to learn
amazing design
Great for kids to learn about computers
It looks like a fun way to learn
A great way for kids to learn, would love to try it x
Great prize, I love how they’ve made coding accessible and fun for children!
I’m always a fan of learning through fun
I like that it gives children of today a chance to ‘muck around with computers’ like we did in the 80s – we had an old tape deck Microbee (Australian computer) and we used to wait for about half an hour for it to load and then do really basic coding on it or play adventure games typing in commands like ‘Get gold’ or ‘Pick up axe’. It was brilliant. The Kano just uses technology which is a bit more modern to do it. Sometimes I think kids miss out on things because they’re overly complicated these days. Stripping things back to their simple basics can bring much joy to kids who are very used to singing and dancing bells and whistles!
Great tool for children an adults alike
The kids are being creative not just being fed something on a screen
ability for children to use it
looks educational and fun, so win win!
Keep kids up to date with technology!
The computer being a kit.
Educational and very child friendly.
It’s technology that’s appealing to children
looks interesting
What do you like about Kano? it’s FUN and EDUCATIONAL

I’ve got a little female budding engineer in my family and this would be perfect for her. What’s more, it’s a fab colour!
I absolutely love these because tech is going to be so, so important for our kids and this looks like the perfect introduction to it.
My children are so computer savvy already, they would love exploring this and it be all theirs.
It’s great way for children (and adults!) to learn coding in a very practical hands on way
I love the way that both children and adults can learn!
I love that the kids are involved in it all right from building it!
I love that it’s teaching children about computers.
Where to start, the main thing is the creative side to it, but it makes learning fun
Its great to teach them a valuable skill and get them involved in something creative and physical, not just screen based.
It’s a great way to introduce kids to coding at an early age, preparing them for more complicated things later on.
So many boys want a career in IT or computer programming- what a great introduction to both and make it fun-the lure of being able to access Code mountains in Minecraft is just fantastic. My son has been a Minecraft fan for years and I fully appreciate the education he gets from this and his computer- he would love this. It would be the ultimate present for him
Sounds great! It’s something different.
It looks a great way to teach my Daughter about computers!
Computing made easy
