About Kano
Anyone can make
We’re Kano. We make the best next generation computers. We are a group of misfits putting pieces together. We are not protective or possessive. Make our stuff yourself. Make it better. Learn something new. We came to play.
Kano is the make-your-own technology company.
Kano invented the first make-your-own computer for all ages, the Kano Computer Kit, in 2014. It launched with the most-crowdfunded ed-tech campaign in history.
Kano members have created and shared more than a million applications on its online platform - described by WIRED as "the GitHub for kids." Kano software teaches 21st-century skills, like coding and design, through stories and games.
Kano products have been honored as the recipients of Red Dot, Cannes Gold Lion, and Innovation by Design Awards, first-ever two-year sequential TIME Best Invention Awards, and many more.
In 2019, Fast Company magazine selected Kano as the second-most innovative company in consumer electronics worldwide (second only to Apple) - and the 24th most innovative overall.
Most recently, Kano joined forces with Microsoft to create a powerful, transparent, affordable, and modular Windows computer – the Kano PC, designed specifically for the 21st-century classroom.
