Look interesting!

From USA TODAY DIY toy computers Sure, some parents get freaked out watching their 7-year-old with lightning-fast fingerpads acing Fruit Ninja on a tablet or iPad. But what's really unsettling isn't kids accumulating screen time – it's that they might not get the true magic of the screen. They should, though. At least that's the thinking behind a new gadget called Kano. As schools worldwide go mad for coding classes, a team of eight U.K.-based engineers and designers are sending a different message: There's a different way to amp up to those Coursera and Code Academy classes, and it doesn't start with a STEM-specialty preschool. You shouldn't be playing what you can't build yourself, says the Kano team. And so they've designed a device that tries to make screen time not just smart but earned for kids (and interested adults too) by getting its users to build it, from the ground up. http://usat.ly/1evKu6N Get USA TODAY on your mobile device: http://www.usatoday.com/mobile-apps
