Looks like their website has changed around. They used to have a kit that came with a raspberry pi (that you had to assemble yourself) and their own Linux-based OS that taught you about computers and the command line

It's still there, based on Raspberry Pi 3. The newer models are Intel based w Windows 10s. I'd preorder a Pi 5 and do a project w the kid where you source the pi, case, screen, get an old laptop or two a old router and set up a network lab.

Their website redesign is so unintuitive.

Agreed. Not sure what the status of the company is either. Their GitHub repos have been quiet for years.

They ripped us off w a Kickstarter, three things first two came the supposed synth that they had Nile Rodgers pitch never shipped and they pivoted to their kid's software basically being a Windows app.

There was a rather speculative article that went into what mightve changed from 2022: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32364631
