Using KANO: Teaching Coding / Computer Knowledge to 3rd Grade

My plan is to purchase 5 of the KANO computer building and coding kits for my students. I have several STEM classes per week and we have 3 Third grade classrooms. I have each class for 40 minutes a week. I am going to alternate six weeks to let them learn how to build and construct a computer with KANO and build code to operate the computer. KANO is a DIY computer building kit and it allows the students to build the computer from scratch and to learn basic coding skills. Students will work collaboratively to gain basic understanding of a computer and basic coding skills.
