Despite computers being so prevalent in life today, most people are still rather clueless about what goes on inside of them.
To demystify computing and let just about anyone make their own computer, London-based company Kano Computing has created a DIY computer that anyone who is aged 8 and up can put together in about 20 minutes.
Designed by London-based creative consultancy MAP, the Kano computer kit comes neatly packed in a compact box that is made for storage and clear organization of the various components.
The Kano allows the user to turn a TV into a functioning computer—one can use it to make spreadsheets, watch videos, play games and even learn to code.
In addition to a manual with instructions on assembly, the kit also comes with a second manual that serves as a workbook of creative projects that teaches the basic of computing.
The best part of the Kano computing kit may be its surprisingly affordable price tag—it is currently available for just US$99 via its Kickstarter campaign.
Watch the video below to see how you can assemble the Kano computer in just 107 seconds.
