Kano's do-it-yourself computer is a great way for curious technology fans to delve into circuitry and coding, and the Kano computer's success has urged the company to move outside of just that essential piece of hardware. Kano has just launched a new Kickstarter campaign in an attempt to introduce more DIY devices onto the company's product line.
Kano's new DIY device kits include a camera, a Bluetooth speaker, and a pixel grid (which is a grid of LEDs that can scroll or flash messages.) These hardware kits all come with step by step guides that walk consumers through the assembly of their DIY devices. Despite this bit of aid, Kano believes that physically assembling one's tech will undoubtedly increase one's knowledge and appreciation of modern gadgetry.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- DIY Device Kits
- DIY device kits are becoming increasingly popular, encouraging consumers to assemble their own tech devices to increase their knowledge and appreciation of modern gadgetry.
- Kano Expansion
- Kano is moving beyond DIY computers to include other technological devices, suggesting a shift in focus towards the DIY tech market.
- Step-by-step Guides
- Step-by-step guides are the key to successful assembly of DIY device kits, making the process more accessible for consumers.
Sectors Adopting This
- Consumer Electronics
- The consumer electronics industry can leverage the popularity of DIY device kits to expand their product offerings and engage consumers with tech assembly.
- Education Technology
- The education technology industry can partner with DIY device kit providers to bring STEM education to a younger audience through hands-on experience.
- Crowdfunding Platforms
- Crowdfunding platforms can utilize the success of Kano's Kickstarter campaign to launch more crowdfunding opportunities for other DIY tech companies to bring their innovative products to market.
