 Today we've got something pretty cool going on. Kano, the creative computing company that's famous for their computer kit that lets anyone learn how to code, even kids as young as six years old, these guys reached out to us about sponsoring a video on the channel. Now, we've always thought that the kits were pretty cool, because the whole goal behind them is to let anyone create with technology rather than just consuming it, and giving them the skills to make technology that improves their lives in the world around them. So the kit that they sent over utilizes a Raspberry Pi 3, making it a totally independent computer. So you can use Kano just as a browsing an email machine, or you can use the Kano software to learn to code on it. And of course, just what, browse the internet? No, that's boring. Instead, I've brought in a special guest, and we are going to be learning some coding. This is the Kano. With simple steps, you can build it yourself, you can learn to code, you can hack Minecraft. That goes right on the front of the box. Look at that. Hack Minecraft, and you can make apps, art, and music. I know it says it's for six and up, but do you think you're a pretty smart five-year-old? Yeah. Do you think you could do what a six-year-old can do? Yeah. Okay, well, why don't we try it out then? This is your computer's brain. It's tiny but powerful. How do you get it? You actually almost had it. Just try that again. There you go. That's pretty cool, actually, the guidebook here. You think you can install that? Yeah. Okay. Okay, you've got to look carefully. Use two hands. So one hand on the brain, and one hand on the light. Oh, are you sure you got it? I think you've got some pins hanging out over the other end there. You got it? Yeah. Okay, push it down. Push it down strong. Nice. The wire piece. Want to double-check that word? White piece? Ah. What's the white piece? This piece? Looks like it. Can you believe Kano sponsored us to sit and do something we would do anyway? Pretty cool, huh? Yeah. Good job. It only goes in one way? Yep. I tried both sides. It didn't work. And that is the experience of using USB. Plug the big end into the power plug? You already did that part. So what's next? Now grab the small end and connect to your computer. Wow. Didn't we just do that? Yes. Did you jump ahead? Yeah. All right. Wow. Can you do that? What's it say? It says follow the white rabbit, type CDRabbitHole, and press enter. What's that? I don't know. That is a reference that you are far too young to get. Update now? Let's do it. Ah. Your very first boring computer update. Oh, it has a game you can play while you update. Why does Windows not have this? Okay, let's do it. Let's do it. Here, hold on. Press J to launch. Seriously, how does every computer not have a silly little game to play while you wait for updates? You got two. This would make me so happy. Like every time I had to deal with this. So hard. Is it harder than the Vive? Yeah, way harder. The Vive is like this much. This much is hard compared to this. It's like this hard. And then we're going to get Dark Souls. It's going to be this big. Actually, you're not allowed to play Dark Souls yet. So there's, what's that? M for map. And then? Q for quest and C for cocks. Codex. Codex, okay, M. And I've never shown you your proper WASD positioning either. I'm clearly a terrible father. So your middle finger operates W and S. So you move it for up and down. And then these ones are dedicated to left and right. Make pong? I don't know what you do. Do you know what pong is? No. Oh. It's a game. I'm going to press next. To paint the board. Now let's use the code blocks dragon board. Then set them for the background and line. Let's go. Cool. Okay. Go? Yeah. Okay. Start with startups. Startups. Start with startups. You want me to move this a little closer for you? Yeah, please. That's better. Okay. Click. Yeah, I think you click over here though. Startups. This one? Yeah. Okay, now what? Powder? So you got to listen. You got to look right here. Grab a board block dragon. Okay. Board block. What's a board block? Well, this one's labeled board and it's a block. So here you want to use this one for your track pad and this one for your clicks. Okay. Come on, mind you, you got it already anyway. Okay, now what? Use the sense. The scene. The scene. And this little, see this little downward arrow here? Yes. That's called a drop down. Drop down? See that? So when you click it, it gives you a menu of options down below. Oh, so do I press it? Yep, you just click it. And then you can let go of this one. Boom. Now choose a color for the lines. Yeah, do you want to change it? No, I don't like this. Okay, well you have to click it. You got to pretend to change it. Pretend to change it? Yeah. How? Just click the color. Yep. And then click the same one. Okay. If you don't want to change it. Okay, now what? Okay, now you click make to run your code. This time are you going to be ready to move the paddle with the arrow keys though? I don't know. Okay, remember this is your pick. I recommend using your right hand to operate these ones. So you actually use your middle finger and you use up and down like that. Can you do that? Yeah. Okay, enter to start. So you want to try and stop the ball. Oh, oh, go get it, go get it. Oh, you got it. Nice. Now watch. Oh, you got a, you got a goal. Get ready, it's coming back. It's going to bounce off the bottom. Ah. So you know what's cool is do you see how the background is the forest that you picked? Yes. And the lines are the red that you picked? So do you know that you changed that? Yeah. Pretty cool, huh? Yeah. So that was actually super easy and super fun. I'm sure that the astute among you have probably noticed that when I filmed the intro and this, I had a haircut. And so obviously it's not done on the same day, but that's okay. Minor detail. What's good about it actually having been about a week is that my son's been playing with the Kano. Well, he thinks he's playing, but he's actually been learning a ton. And the session that we did in there would just barely scratch the surface. There is a ton of stuff that you can do with it, especially when you get into the like hack Minecraft functionality. So if you've got a young person in your life that you want to get started on the path of learning about computer hardware and coding, or even if you're someone a little bit older who wants a simple and fun way to get into coding, the Kano Computer Kit is designed for beginners of all ages. You can learn all about it and order one for yourself at the link in the video description. So thanks for watching, guys. If you disliked this video, you can hit that button.
