Let’s face it. Technology is really popular right now. It’s also something that is important for kids to learn about, so they can become creators of technology and not just consumers.
The Church has an amazing opportunity to capture the attention of this next generation with technology, as well as encourage them to use technology to build the Kingdom of God.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if the Church lead in this area? If we were invested in the future enough to help shape it?
Maybe this could help:
Kano
Kano started on Kickstarter and I thought it was something I had posted about on ChurchMag before, but alas, I can’t find it. Apparently it was something I found interesting enough to consider for ChurchMag, but not quite enough to actually follow through.
Until, now.
Let me tell you about Kano. In short, it is a Raspberry Pi computer kit. It’s a cool mixture of LEGO and those Radio Shack kits you could build your own radio or “over 100 projects!”
Here’s a closer look:
How to Make A Computer in 107 Seconds
And the apps included are just enough to begin basic programming languages. From A to Z, it’s an easy, nicely packaged system to learn more about what goes into building and programing a computer.
This could be a cool church small group, youth group or Sunday school project.
