Kano's do-it-yourself computer is a great way for curious technology fans to delve into circuitry and coding, and the Kano computer's success has urged the company to move outside of just that essential piece of hardware. Kano has just launched a new Kickstarter campaign in an attempt to introduce more DIY devices onto the company's product line.
Kano's new DIY device kits include a camera, a Bluetooth speaker, and a pixel grid (which is a grid of LEDs that can scroll or flash messages.) These hardware kits all come with step by step guides that walk consumers through the assembly of their DIY devices. Despite this bit of aid, Kano believes that physically assembling one's tech will undoubtedly increase one's knowledge and appreciation of modern gadgetry.
