Happy Pi Day! Win a Pi-powered Kano computer kit

We love pi – that simple yet irrational number that is defined by the circumference of a circle divided by its diameter. So to celebrate Pi Day, the festival of that beautiful ratio’s first few digits, 3.14, on 14 March, we’re giving away a fabulous . What’s the connection? The heart of the Kano is a credit-card sized, eminently hackable Raspberry Pi.

The Kano is a computer you build yourself – as easy as Lego and suitable for all ages. It includes the Raspberry Pi and all the bits you need to make, play and experiment right out of the box. Build a boombox with the included speaker, program your own Minecraft game using the visual Kano Blocks programming language – or just enjoy customising the case on the computer you built yourself.

The winner will receive a Kano Kit, which includes:
