KANO COMPUTER ASSEMBLY KIT: Open the box, pull out the bits, button and brain. Follow the story, connect the parts, build a computer. Look inside, see how it works and bring it to life. Create a character, open Story Mode and explore the strange areas of the computer, uncover its mysteries. Learn about power, HDMI, sound waves on the journey (Kano: Build A Computer). (Kano Tutorials and Support are in the Dropdown Area.)

CUBELETS ROBOT BLOCKS: With Cubelets, you can build delightful robots that respond to the world around them. Create a light-chasing robot or proximity-sensing flashlight. Build thousands of thought-provoking robots with the Cubelets. You don’t need to know how to code or wire to construct robots with Cubelets. Snap the robot blocks together and the magnetic faces do the rest. Every unique arrangement is a new robot with novel behaviors emerging from the construction.

Cubelet Activities and Lessons:
ADVANCED HYDRAULIC ARM KITS: This is a pretty incredible hydraulic powered remote-controlled arm. The arm is built totally by you, from scratch! You construct it by measuring, cutting, reaming holes and tapping. This arm is "advanced," because it has 8 cylinders (4 cylinders move the arm, 4 cylinders form the control panel), and it has parts to make it into almost anything you can imagine. Build it using the instructions, then re-engineer it! Create your own unique design, incorporating recycled materials or anything else you can find. It comes with plenty of extra components included to help you change and create something completely new. Try re-engineering the arm so it can pivot at the base!

PING PONG BALL PROJECTILE LAUNCHER KIT KITS: Build your own Projectile Launcher- send ping pong balls flying, marking the trajectory and distance of your shots and targets. The Build Guide will get you started. Redesign your launcher with greater accuracy and precision through the optional labs and graphing sheets, then compete in exciting design challenges. Change one variable at a time, utilizing scientific and engineering methods to successfully hit targets. Use recycling bin materials or extra components to build a catapult, ram or sling-shot – your imagination is the limit! Build once, tinker forever.(TeacherGeek) (Ping Pong Ball Projectile Launcher Kit Tutorials and Support are in the Dropdown Area.)
