For those who have never encountered programming, writing code can seem like real magic. The Kano company decided to show that although the development of programs is similar to the use of spells, in which it is necessary to spend a lot of time studying, there is nothing supernatural about it and programming can be fun and exciting.

Harry Potter Kano Coding Kit is a new development from the company that will help you to acquire basic skills of writing code in a game form. The kit includes a wand equipped with a gyroscope, an accelerometer, and a magnetometer with dozens of tasks included.

Beginning developers will be immersed in the world of "Harry Potter" and use blocks of code, presented in the form of spells, to influence virtual objects and change them. Wand movements can combine spells with special conditions. The gadget recognizes several types of gestures intended for different actions.

In advanced mode, users can view the source code of the spells in JavaScript for more accurate debugging of their spells.

CEO Alex Klein believes that by completing all the tasks from the set, it will help you understand the basics of programming and can be the first step to developing your own applications in JavaScript.

Another goal is to help users understand how gadgets work, which surround us everywhere in the modern world.

Kano will begin selling the Harry Potter Kano Coding Kit on October 1st for $99.99.
