Kano OS, Books, and Burner Availailable #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
While the specific Kano kit of Pi accessories aiming to make the RasPi as close to a working-out-of-the-box experience for young learners as possible (scroll down on their home page here to see the process of putting together a Kano) is not yet for sale online, but they did decide to share a number of the exciting resources they have been developing, including their books/lessons, and now their Kano OS and OS burning utility!
What’s Kano OS?
A fast, fun, full-featured operating system for Raspberry Pi, based on Debian Linux with a simple interface, seamless setup, automagic WiFi and Updater, and fantastic coding projects for all ages. Make and play in Minecraft, Pong, Snake, Scratch, and more.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
