Kano originally was an education kit build around a Raspberry Pi [1].

I was a backer of that and the hardware and instruction book you received was great. I played with it for a bit, but I ended up gifting it to a friend who had two young kids. His daughter ended up using it to create same games in Scratch.

Interesting to see that they've moved onto Windows instead now. I wonder if it's so parents are more familiar and able to help with projects on it?
