Kano Computing

Kano Computing is a London-based technology company founded in 2013 by Alex Klein, Saul Klein and Yonatan Raz-Fridman that began by shipping build-it-yourself computer and coding kits designed to teach STEM and creative computing to children on top of Raspberry Pi hardware. Its catalog spanned the Kano Computer Kit, motion-sensor and Harry Potter / Star Wars coding wands, the Windows-based Kano PC built with Microsoft, and the Stem Player and Stem Video Projector consumer devices. Kano paired the hardware with Kano Code, a block-to-text creative-coding platform, and Kano World, an online making and sharing community. The company entered administration in 2023 and its assets now trade under the Stem brand; its developer footprint survives as open-source tooling in the KanoComputing GitHub organization and the npm @kano scope rather than a hosted API.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

Kano Computing is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Kano Computing scores 8.7/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

The organization behind the API

Kano Computing is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
