 Today I am having an experience like no other literally because thanks to Kano sponsoring this video I will be the first person in the world who gets to cover the Harry Potter Kano coding kit in their own words You will build a wand for yourself Learn to code and you will yes, this is a direct quote from the packaging wave your coding wand Let's find out how that works Okay, so the software is currently pre-released for this so I've gone ahead and I've assembled an entire array of every device that the Final product will support so I've got iOS Android Mac OS and Windows But I'm gonna go ahead and as much as this is gonna be a struggle for me I'm gonna use the Mac OS version of it because that's apparently the one that is the most complete right now So we're not gonna be having the entire experience because it's not done I mean there is no entire experience because you can like I've actually got some experience with the original Kano computer kit I built it with my son and he's actually used it quite a bit since then and there's not really like There's not like it like a beat the boss and it's over type thing like it's more of a learning product But we aren't gonna have even the entire pre-canned experience because it's not quite done yet so So this is it come on over here Ollivander would be proud how to make a wand the handbook go ahead and put that there Look at this they got like a little thing you just okay All right, so um snap click swish swish and I haven't watched the movies in a while, but I'm still getting I'm still getting the references here. Oh Wow, there is a spell guide stupify Wingardium leviosa, it's leviosa not leviosa No leviosa not leviosa Why do I know these things? I'm sorry. I know I know Lumos So these are some of the gestures that you can do quick guide to one motions I totally I totally want this poster like Regardless of the product I like actually would just buy this poster What else we got here Okay, we could look at the instructions. That's a thick instruction book. This is your wand It's made of plastic rubber copper and electronics Okay Got your wand tip got a lanyard so you don't throw it into the TV wand handle wand brain Button and two triple-a batteries. Let's build your wand pick up this piece They really do make this stuff simple That was something that I thought they did a great job of when I built the Kano computer Kit with my son. I mean even he was able to do it. He wasn't even six yet Okay, pick up this piece got it It's called a printed circuit board or PCB look closely at the parts. Oh, that's fun So there's your power controller. So charging must come in somewhere near there, but I don't actually see it Here's our processor. Here's an activity light of some sort. Here's our Codable vibration motor. Oh cool. There's vibration feedback. So the Bluetooth antenna. This is fun Actually, this is cool So a lot of people think that devices that don't have external antennas don't necessarily have antennas But what they actually are is they're generally copper on printed circuit board So you can see in order to make the antenna longer than it would otherwise be able to be They've gone and they've snaked it like this neat right learn something every day. Here's some sensors Here's the button and then this is a codable light. So you've got both vibration and light feedback Let's add some power turn the PCB over there you go. So the batteries just go right in there Bippity boppity Ha ha that's not Harry Potter Okay, so we got all that is RGB like in that our Bluetooth looks like a It's in pairing mode. Oh, wow. Wow. These are really step-by-step slot the first. I'm way ahead of you Way ahead of you. Make sure your batteries are facing this way. Got it Flip the PCB over make sure the blue light is on if not check the batteries are the right way. We've got it Inside this little black square are three sensors a gyroscope that senses gravity So the wand will know which way is up and down An accelerometer so the wand will be able to know how fast it's going and a magnetometer to calculate the wand's direction So gravity speed right now it's almost looking like a like a spell guide now We're getting there. We're getting close So it knows if you're moving it up down forward backward left right fast or slow That's cool. So basically there's Almost no limit if you can get your muscle memory just right to what you could do with it Okay, more instructions on how to put in the button. I'm good. I figured that out Wow, they really yep, they're making it simple flip it over make sure the buttons peeping out I think we got this this looked like heavy reading but actually it's not pick up your wand With it, you'll do great things With the right movements the right words a bit of curiosity and courage Look at this when this then flame particles wand X flame particles wand Y. That's cool You can make feathers flow flames flow jelly beans grow and gorgio First challenge. Let's use your coating wand to make a feather levitate Open the objects tray Got this drag the block onto your code space change seconds to milliseconds and open the physics tray And drag this block right about there. So every one millisecond do object set position of all to x and y coordinates of the wand cool so Drag this block into your code space throw that onto your x position Whoops, but there you go. And then we also need the wand y position. There we go And then we open the physics tray and set the angle to oh, I see what we want to do So we want to change pitch to roll That way we can Roll the feather around very cool. So you can actually see a preview See that so you can wave your feather around And then uh reducto ha ha ha ha You can choose what kind of beans you want we could do uh, regular beans And gorgio, ah Ha ha Can you guys hear the uh, the uh, the vibrating feedback? Okay, so we're gonna do this So we're gonna cast cast immobulus on a swarm of cornish pixies Will do change all to random and change zero to 60 so they fly towards each other So this is going to be quite the swarm of pixies then so this is creating our pixies Then we're gonna do this So we're gonna do this So this is going to be quite the swarm of pixies then so this is creating our pixies then We need to create A wand action to control these bloody things. We've got our wand centered Thanks to the power of block coding even I was able to figure it out So now we can restart the program. You can see what happens is we have a bunch of pixies spawn And they're running all over the place in zero gravity boom off it goes and then you go like this This bow and they freeze Immobulus last challenge now we get to create fire This is actually the part I was waiting for First add a loop. So we are always generating particles One of the neatest things about the software is that you can see what's happening in real time over on the side So I can see that every one second is not great so now Every one millisecond now we get a thousand times as much fire And then if I were to point my wand at the screen here, I'm just gonna center it again boom Now I'm creating these these particles that are flying out from the point of the wand so you can see the cursor there as well There you have it summoning fire out of the wand and you can follow along with absolutely everything that we changed So now instead of having uniform particles We've made them clumpier We've made them change color and we've made them go from bigger down to smaller so that you get a much more realistic Fire like effect with your wand So this is just a small slice of what you'll be able to do with the Harry Potter Kano coding kit you will actually be able to program actions for gestures and Just like the original Kano the sky is the limit in terms of your creativity. So yes, there's going to be tutorials and demos and little challenges that you can complete if you're looking to take a Harry Potter fan in your life be they small or adult sized and introduce them to the power of coding But then the real fun is to be had in the learning experiences that you can have After you've completed the in the box challenges, so guys it's gonna be available for $99.99 starting October 1st and you can pre-order it right now at the link in the video description Guys if you want to find out more information, you can check out the link in the video description Thank you for watching and thanks again to Kano not only for sponsoring this video but also for letting me be one of the first people in the world to experience this piece of computing magic
