The Motion Sensor Kit, new from Kano, is their simplest coding kit. Suitable for ages 6+, both big and small hands can earn how to code and make hand-controlled apps with this kit. Compatible with both Mac & PC, it is easy to use and set up; simply open the box, take out the bits, connect the sensor, sucker and cable, then follow the book to learn how to control it. Before you begin, you will also need to download the Kano app onto your computer. The clear step-by-step challenges teach you how to drag blocks, learn logic, play with movement and sound, and you can see the Javascript behind your creations. Control sounds with different hand movements - make lions roar and sirens wails, bang drums, strum guitars and tap synths.

You can use the Motion Kit to build games with movement - flap to make flappy birds fly, swipe to return balls in Pong or make your own games and get your friends involved with a second sensor. The kit includes a USB cable, motion sensor, suction cup, storybook style instruction book and stickers to customise it and make it your own. There are over 30 step-by-step challenges to play with: ‘Logic’ allows you to use logic blocks and make code respond to your commands, ‘Draw’ lets you draw art, including letting you can paint with your nose and toes, ‘Synth’ encourages you to play with sounds and ‘Variables’ lets you set points where movement changes what happens, and you can even add a speaker for more options to play with.

The Motion Sensor Kit works with other Kano Kits - you can connect to a Computer Kit or simply use it on its own. The Motion Sensor Kit has found the perfect balance between education and entertainment, and is a great introduction into the world of coding. RRP £29.99
