Kano Computing

Kano Computing is a London-based technology company founded in 2013 by Alex Klein, Saul Klein and Yonatan Raz-Fridman that began by shipping build-it-yourself computer and coding kits designed to teach STEM and creative computing to children on top of Raspberry Pi hardware. Its catalog spanned the Kano Computer Kit, motion-sensor and Harry Potter / Star Wars coding wands, the Windows-based Kano PC built with Microsoft, and the Stem Player and Stem Video Projector consumer devices. Kano paired the hardware with Kano Code, a block-to-text creative-coding platform, and Kano World, an online making and sharing community. The company entered administration in 2023 and its assets now trade under the Stem brand; its developer footprint survives as open-source tooling in the KanoComputing GitHub organization and the npm @kano scope rather than a hosted API.

Kano Computing is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Education, STEM, Hardware, and Computing.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Education & Research regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/.
