The new Pixel Kit from Kano allows you to make and code its 16x8 LED Grid and 128 RGB LED light into a mini disco, as well as build your own games, animations and art work. Suitable from ages 6+, when you open the box, you will find buttons, three USB ports, a board, joystick, stickers and more. The instructional story books will walk you through building the Pixel Kit - you will learn as you make, and when it is finished, it can be connected to your computer and the Kano App, so turn on the lights and start coding.
Perfect for beginners, you can complete over 35 step-by-step challenges, connect blocks and create characters; make them run and jump, spaceships swerve, balls bounce, and then add logic and scoreboards to turn your creation into a game. You can also remix games made by friends, paint with light and make animations. The inbuilt microphone lets you synchronise the lights to the beat or makes characters speak when you speak.
The battery offers the Pixel Kit three hours of play per charge. To connect it to a computer, it will need a computer with the Kano App installed, but will work with any Windows, Mac, or Kano Computer Kit. Tt comes with a carrying strap to prevent it from being accidentally dropped, and there are holes in the back of the case that allow you to mount it on the wall to display your creation. The Pixel Kit is designed to inspire the creative and analytical side of young minds whilst teaching valuable skills and coding, and with tripwire sensor, gesture sensor, climate senor, and sound sensor add-ons coming soon, it will keep kids entertained for a long time.
