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.
