Kano's Harry Potter Coding Kit

This tech toy has won a lot of awards. It got a Best of Innovation Honorees for CES 2019 -- Picked as one of TIME magazine’s Best Inventions of 2018! - And it is also on the list as one of the Best Tech Toys of the year....... Here's how it works. First you build your wand, which Chad said should take a very short time judging from the photos. The wand combines a gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer to track your hand movement and recognize the motions of signature spells. Once assembled, download the Kano app to start unlocking challenges across six iconic Wizarding World settings including Hogwarts, Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade and The Forbidden Forest. Kano says the creative challenges teach fundamentals of coding and introduce basic concepts of real-world programming thanks to a block-based interface and a JavaScript inspector, guided by simple steps. The wand works wirelessly with iOS or Android tablets as well as Windows or Mac computers. You can also share your creations on Kano World, a free, creative community where anyone can make, share, and play with art, music and games, and tweak it to make it their own.
