One thing that I believe in is helping to educate the world about modern technologies and securities. Over the last year, the world is beginning to become more aware, not only about the importance of being up to date with technology. but that for future generations it is important to begin to teach about technology and programming now. A number of different projects have begun to pop up, one of the most popular ones is the Google Made With Code Project, which is aimed at teaching young ladies how to code and helping them play a fundamental role in the world of modern technology. More recently further projects have emerged including Kano, a development kit that provides some pretty cool stuff for learning computer programming and coding. The Kano Computer Kit is a "a computer and coding kit, designed for all ages, all over the world. Lego simple, Raspberry Pi powerful, and hugely fun.". The kit includes the following tools and features: Kano Books, illustrated and intuitive Kano OS and Levels – 8GB SD card DIY Speaker Raspberry Pi Model B Kano Keyboard Custom case Card mods and stencils Stickers! Cables: HDMI, Micro-USB Worldwide power plug WiFi powerup The project is another to emerge from the KickStarter funding website ( https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alexklein/kano-a-computer-anyone-can-make ) You can pre order the kit from their website, ( http://www.kano.me/kit ), for 119.00 euro or check out all the information and photos on the site. As always I will keep you up to date with information over the following weeks through the TechBubble website and social pages.
