    Older boy was able to make it work, but younger fellow couldn’t understand it and lost interest. Neither grasped the concept of coding.

    This is a Raspberry Pi 3 that comes with the Kano OS. Very useful as a entertainment piece or educational asset. A child could use this through adult hood. I recommend purchasing additional programming manuals from “No Starch Press”. Coding in Python specifically.

    Amazing for kids computer programming. This device is amazing as it has circular light attracts kids to use. Inbuild OS out of the box. Connect directly using hdmi. Best for kids to explore and tweak more using device.

    This is a genious product with wonders of creativity but it is also very complicated in concept for a 7 year old to grasp. This imposes a hint of difficulty and complete parent involvement and time is required for positive results.

    This was a fun little set to build for my son. The teaching interface starts out like a game to keep things fun. It worked well with our 32" TV. No extra parts needed.
