Kano, a do-it-yourself computer that looks to get children to begin coding at an early age, has announced that it will be upgrading its kit and that it has received $15 million in funding.

The company, which is based in London, made the announcements at the TechCrunch Disrupt event in New York.

The new model of Kano, which will come with a price tag of $149 and will begin shipping late in May, will be powered by the Raspberry Pi 2 single-board computer, the latest version of the popular open-source computer.

By introducing Raspberry Pi 2 into Kano, the processing speed of the child-focused supercomputers will be increased by six times.

If you have a child who has shown an interest in tinkering with computers or wants to know how they work, this would be a great way to introduce them. It's a cheap price to pay to put your child onto the road that could lead to their career.. and if they decide they don't like it that much, it's still an educational experience for them.
