LESSON 1Build a Computer!Beginner1 hr 10 minLearners will discuss ahead of time what the components of a computer are and then use thatknowledge to BUILD one.OBJECTIVESLearners can describe the components of a computer system, including hardware,operating systems, and applications.Learners can give examples of how computers are used in the real world.Learners build computers and write lines of code.STANDARDSK12 CS: Computing Systems.Devices, Computing Systems.Hardware and SoftwareCSTA: K - 2: 1A-CS-01, 1A-CS-02,3 - 5: 1B-CS-01, 1B-CS-02Common Core: CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP112MATERIALS NEEDEDPrint out a diagram of the Raspberry Pi and talk through each component.

Introduction10 minsLinkingToday, learners will build a computer! Before they do, challenge them. Ask them to write downas many parts of a computer (mouse, speaker, etc) as they can in 2 minutes. After the time is uphave them compare with their partner. As a group, share out your answers and the leader shouldwrite them down so the class can see the parts. Discuss the difference between hardware andsoftware.EngageWe were able to name a lot of parts for a computer, and today we will focus on these hardwarepieces. Some we always knew, some we just learned. Today, we are going to see how all theseparts interact and make a computer. We will have our own components, and by the end of theday we will build, and have a computer that works!Exploration ActivitiesChallenge 1: What Can Computers Do?5 minsAsk learners what they think computers can do. As they discuss write their responses down. What are they used for?What is code?What is a Raspberry Pi?Challenge 2: Build a Computer!30 minsPass out the Kano kits. Ask learners whether any of them have built their own computers beforeto get them excited.Build! Learners build their Kanos. Clap and cheer as learners get powered up and type “cdrabbithole.”13

Challenge 3: Explore Kano10 minsIf you have a little time, let the learners play around and move into different apps on Kano. Directthem to Make Art so they can start coding art! If you have a lot of time left to explore then moveon to the Explore Kano lesson.ClosingEvaluation5 minsOnce the computers are picked up, ask learners to fill out their engineering log. Also, in the inclass reflection section answer these questions: What was your favorite part about today’s session?What was your least favorite part about today’s session? What are three things you learned today?Why is it important to create, not just consume, technology?Call on four people to answer 1 of the 4 questions above.Extension5 minsBefore everyone leaves, ask the learners to go home tonight and draw or write what it was like tobuild a Kano Computer. Did they enjoy it? Were they excited? What was the computer like?Also, pass out the “Build Worksheet” to be completed at home. You can find the worksheet in theappendix section of this packet.Kano Clean-up10 minsAs you start using Kano in class, how you clean up will become important. Take a substantialamount of time (10 - 15 minutes) to practice your clean-up routine with your learners.14

While you were using the Kano there were components you used that were inputs (you putting informationinto the Kano) and there were things that were outputs (the Kano showed you something). What do you thinkwas an input device of the Kano hardware? What do you think was an output device?Creator QuestionYou just built your own computer! Now how about you design your own computer? Below, draw the perfectcomputer! What components would it need to turn on? What would make it unique? Be creative!Impact QuestionHow has technology changed in your life? What was it like when you were 5? What was it like 3 months ago?What new technologies have you heard about or seen?18

LESSON 2Explore KanoBeginner1 hrLearners, after building their Kanos, will take time to understand the software inside the Kanooperating system and explore some of the features to get to know it!OBJECTIVESLearners will grasp the difference between hardware and softwareLearners will understand how Kano’s Operating System (OS) worksLearners will gain an understanding of the different uses of codeLearners will be able to use code to make basic creationsSTANDARDSK12 CS: Computing Systems.Devices, Computing Systems.Hardware and SoftwareCSTA: K-2: 1A-AP-09, 1A-CS-01, 1A-CS-02, 1A-CS-03Common Core: CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP119

Introduction10 minsLinkingRemember building our computers and learning about hardware and software?Remind learners that a way to help you remember the difference is to think of hardware as aphysical device. Something you can touch and put in your hands. With software, you can’t do thesame thing. It lives inside your computer or in another device.Today, we’re going to dive into software and start coding. Ask learners what they have heardabout code - what is it? What are some coding languages they’ve heard of? List a few on theboard - including: ScratchCoffeeScript (Make Art)Python (Make Snake)Kano Blocks (Make Minecraft, Make Pong)HTMLJavaScriptCSSYou can use these resources to help you discuss code with your learners. When they powered upthe Kano, they saw something called “binary code.” Computers think in 1s and 0s. Humans don’t!In order to speak to computers, we need code!EngageGet excited! We want to use code to be creative - you can do all sorts of things with code!Watch this video on coding at Pixar.Collect KanosRetrieve Computers, Turn On, Log In205 mins

Exploration ActivitiesChallenge 1: Become a Creative Remix Master!5 minsWe have built a Kano, but now we want to think about how we can be CREATIVE with Kano. Forall of our sessions we will be learning how to code in a lot of different environments. We will begiven a lot of step-by-step instructions on how to create magnificent creations in art, games, andsound! What we want to do when we finish these challenges is to think creatively!Once you finish a challenge, don’t just click next and move on! After each challenge try to changethe code. Maybe you can change the numbers for a code block or you can change the color. Tryit out and see what you can do and what you can uniquely create! Become a Remix Master!When you code something super cool try sharing in on Kano World or recording in yourengineering log what you did so you can tell the whole group how awesome your code is!Even though you told them to become remix masters, it is helpful to show them at least how toremix or “hack” each challenge.Challenge 2: Explore Make Art!15 minsOnce Kanos are powered on have the learners go to Make Art. For Make Art, work with themthrough the first Basic challenge (Sunny Day) and show them how they can be the remix master.The easiest remix you can make for Sunny Day is to change the background color or radius ofthe circle!Have them work on at least 3 challenges in Make Art and remix each challenge. Again,encourage learners to share their work via Kano World or record their remix in their engineeringlogs!Challenge 3: Explore Make Snake!10 minsThere are a lot of different apps on the Kano computer. But can you hack a game? Yes! Now, let’sexit out of Make Art and go to Make Snake. If your group is young, tell them that snake was awildly popular game on phones where you were a snake moving around the board eating applesor little dots. It was very basic, but now they get to hack it and make it challenging with code!In Make Snake, learners should remember to try and remix the challenges after learning how tomodify the game. Don’t forget to share your game with Kano World!21

Challenge 3: Explore Make Pong!10 minsHow about one more game? This time let’s hack Pong! Again, this was a very popular game(the first video game) and we can hack it to be AWESOME now! This platform is a little differentthan Make Snake. Instead of just using lines of code we can use block code similar to Scratch tocustomize the game! Remember to remix each challenge and don’t forget to share your gamewith Kano World!ClosingEvaluation5 minsTell the learners to get into pairs and talk about which of the three games they liked the best. Ifthey haven’t already, ask them to share what they’ve created via Kano World! Each pair can sharewhat they liked best and what was most difficult.Come up with a class definition for “code,” and list a few things that you can create using code.Have learners write down this definition in their engineering log.ExtensionBefore leaving, pass out the “Explore Kano Worksheet” to be completed at home. You can find theworksheet in the appendix section of this packet.Kano Clean-upPower down and put away Kanos225 mins

Is so write their name, provide a description of the app,and draw what the app’s logo looks like below!23

Explore KanoCreator QuestionIf you could design an app for the Kano what would it be? What would its features be? What would the logobe? Draw the app below!24

LESSON 3Intro to Make ArtBeginner1 hrHave your creators gets used to Make Art and begin creating unique creations to share!OBJECTIVESLearners will understand how to access Make ArtLearners will be able to identify the features of Mark Art and use them to create their ownpieces of artSTANDARDSK12 CS:Computing Systems.Troubleshooting;Algorithms and Programming.Control;Algorithms and Programming.AlgorithmsAlgorithms and Programming.Program DevelopmentCSTA:K-2: 1A-AP-10, 1A-AP-11, 1A-AP-12 , 1A-AP-153-5: 1B-AP-10, 1B-AP-11, 1B-AP-12, 1B-AP-16, 1B-AP-176-8: 2-AP-12, 2-AP-13, 2-AP-169-10: 3A-AP-18MATERIALS NEEDEDVisit http://art.kano.me/challenges to find all our Make Art challenges25

Introduction10 minsLinkingAsk your learners to draw anything, using a pen and paper. It can be as simple or as complex asthey want but they only have 5 minutes. Put a countdown up to get them energized to go!EngageTell your learners to turn and talk to each other for 1 minute each. What is your favorite programyou have used to edit images (Paint, Photoshop, Code)? Do they think they can transfer theirdrawings to the computer with one of those softwares? If you can how? After they are finishedwith the 2-minute turn and talk discuss how computers are becoming used more often inartwork, from Disney films, to 3D printed jewelery, to laser cut wood prints, to art made fromcode! Art is changing and using technology to create this change. Today, they will learn oneplatform to use code to create art and share it with the world!Collect Kanos5 minsRetrieve Computers, Turn On, Log InExploration Activities35-45 minsChallenge 1: Get to know Make Art!Briefly go over the features of Make Art and how you access the app.Click this icon to launch Make Art!Once the app is open, they will have the option to work on ”challenges” or hang out in the“playground.” Challenges are exactly that, challenges, that the Kano team creates to help creatorsget used to the environment and start learning code. They are walkthroughs that provide specificinstructions to move forward and you can customize your creations afterward!The playground is a little different. There are no walkthroughs, it is a playground for yourimagination! Take the skills you learned in the walkthroughs or tinker around to see what you cancreate!When you open up Make Art in “challenges” or “playground” you will see a screen like the one26

below. The left side is where you will code, and the right side is where you will see your creationsstart to grow and be built!Try hitting enter a few times in the dark left side. You will notice numbers appear. This is anumber system to help you create individual lines of code.Now on the right side move your cursor around. You should notice that in the bottom left cornerof the white screen you will see the “x” and the “y” move positions. In Make Art you are creatingmasterpieces on a grid that corresponds to a coordinate plane. You can use your cursor to helpyou identify where on the grid you need to draw!On the left side you will notice seven gray boxes. These are buttons to different windows thatgive you information on Make Art!Code: This will be where you will usually have your left screen working on. Hereyou type in the code that will help build your creations on the right side.Shapes: Do you want to create objects? You can create shapes: circle, ellipse,square, rectangle, and polygon in this section with the example code shown.27

Lines: With this button you can draw lines! These include drawing a line of acertain size, and drawing a line to a certain point.Position: We want to create in different spaces on our digital canvas. To do thiswe need to learn how to move around on the board. You can see example tomove the cursor a certain distance away and move the cursor to a particularposition.Text: Maybe you want to say something in words. Use the text box to learnexamples to: write a message, set size and/or font, sets bold text on (true) or off(false), sets italic text on (true) or off (false).General: This button explains a few things that don’t fit in the other categories.Such as: repeat code or get a random number in a range.Colors: What is a piece of art without color? In the color button you will seeexamples to: set the background color, change the color in use, change the widthand color of the stroke (border, set a color’s brightness, set a color’s saturation,rotate a color’s hue angle by a given amount, set how see through a color is.Challenge 2Get used to Make Art! Have your learners click on Make Art and explore the beginner challenges.Remind them to remix each challenge and don’t forget to tell them to share their art pieces onKano World!Challenge 3Are your learners ready for a challenge? Have them open up the playground and attempt thefollowing scenarios:Scenario 1: Can you draw an example of a drink you would have in the current weather?For example, if it is cold you may drink hot chocolate! If it is hot you may drink iced tea.Scenario 2: Let’s make something more extensive. Can you draw your name in differentcolors? Stylize it and make it your own!**Note: it may be helpful to let each learner have a piece of paper and pencil to draw out theirpicture. Encourage learners to draw simple shapes that make up a larger picture!28

Challenge 4Challenge a classmate! Pair up your learners. Have each student write a challenge on a pieceof paper. Tell them to make it reasonable and something that can be created in Make Artonly. Make sure their partner doesn’t see! Once they have their challenge thought out they willexchange with their partner. Can each person finish the challenge before they run out of time?Challenge 5Wow, your creators have gotten far super fast! Now, can they take their drawing from the start ofclass and do the impossible? Can they turn their paper drawing into CODE?Save your work and share to Kano World!ClosingSharing and Evaluation15 minsYour learners should have finished Challenge 3. Ask the challenger to critique the challenge -y’sartwork. Did it make the grade? Ask the challenger to grade them! If they did, give them a 3, if itwas okay a 2, if not that much a 1. Ask the challenger to give two lines of feedback, one helpfulcomment to make it better and one positive comment!Educator Note: It is recommended you model this to the learners to make sure they fullyunderstand the task.Tell the learners you hope they enjoyed this introduction lesson and that they will be doing moreexciting work with Make Art. While learners leave, tell them to turn in their post-it notes with theirgrade for their challenge partner’s work. Also, have learners complete their daily engineering log!ExtensionBefore leaving, pass out the “Intro to Make Art Worksheet” to be completed at home.
