- (singing Mario tune) Ba da da da da da unboxing!
(electronic Harry Potter theme)
I'm Harry, Harry Potter.
Hey guys, Tessa here, and for today's video,
I'm going to be unboxing something very magical.
It's a Harry Potter Kano Coding Kit.
A big shout out to Kano for sponsoring this video.
Kano is a company that is known
for creating DIY computer coding kits for beginners.
The Harry Potter Kano Coding Kit is a build it yourself
wireless wand that shows fans of all ages
how to code and create through 70 step-by-step
creative challenges inspired by the wizarding world.
Look at how nice this box is.
Oh, there's things on the back!
Build it yourself.
Learn to code.
Wave your coding wand.
Endless play, and unlock secrets!
Iconic Creatures, costumes and locations.
Look, it's me!
Yeah!
Oh, this is exciting!
Let's open it up!
(mimics angelic choir)
It's so official and beautiful!
(gasping) Oh my gosh,
guys!
Look at that!
It looks like a wand box!
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, look at how beautiful this is.
I love it.
Holy crap, this is gorgeous packaging.
There's a strap for your wand!
See, I knew it. I knew you needed a strap for your wand.
Thank you!
Look at the stickers!
Oh my gosh, they're so cute.
Snake, I'm a snake, I'm a snake.
And then a troll
in the dungeon!
Quick guide to wand motions.
Oh, it's all the spells!
These are all the spells we can learn!
And look, my favorite!
Lumos! I love this.
This is basically like taking all the spells
from the wizarding world and bringing them into your home!
Oh my Rowling!
Kano is making all of my Harry Potter dreams come true!
Lune, do you want to learn how to code?
Okay, first let's make our coding wand
that will respond to our movements.
Everything we need is in the box.
Batteries are here, don't need to go out
and make any special trips, which is nice.
And here, we have our little illustrated instructions.
How to make a coding wand.
These are simple instructions.
They're easy to follow.
That way you can learn and understand
how you're building your coding wand as you go.
Besides the magic, of course.
So here are all the different parts of the wand.
Okay, let's build the wand!
Here's the piece, and here are all the parts!
Turn the PCB over and this is where the batteries go.
So instead of having a core of a phoenix tail feather,
it seems that this wand has a core of batteries.
Let us add the core of the wand.
(gasps) Ooh! Ah, yeah!
So the wand can sense your gravity, speed and direction!
It's just like magic.
Lune, you're so cute back there.
Lune (laughs)
Grab the button and place it
into the hole of the coding wand handle.
Button in place.
Put the coding wand on a flat surface
and carefully place the PCB into the handle.
Grab the coding wand handle cover,
slide it in and clip it down.
Ah hah!
Oh my goodness!
t's so pretty!
(mimics angelic choir)
Look at this beautiful wand!
The coding wand chooses the wizard, Mr. Potter.
We're done with step one, our wands are at the ready,
and we are ready for step two.
Once the wand is assembled, the next step is
to download the companion Harry Potter app,
which is available on any device:
Mac, Windows, iOS or android tablet.
Then, you connect your wand with bluetooth!
Found it!
Oh!
We're in Diagon Alley!
This is so cool!
Create a profile and a little wizard avatar,
which yo can customize with different outfits!
Wormtail, I know that's you!
Get out of here!
Guys, look at my cute little avatar!
I love her!
Now, it's time to explore the wizarding world!
There are a ton of step-by-step coding challenges.
The wand can detect motion, but also can recognize
some of the signature spells from Harry Potter.
In this challenge, you will use a motion like that
of the Accio spell to activate codes
so you can add a broom to the canvas.
(gasps) We are going to be using our spells now!
And just so you know, the wand does not have a microphone,
but I'm still gonna say the spells anyway.
Because it's fun!
Let's open the events tray, let's drag the block.
Open the objects tray.
Drag the block
onto the code space.
Change owl
to broomstick.
Hold down the button on your coding wand
and perform the Accio spell movement.
Accio!
The broomstick is here!
It worked!
Accio!
Accio, broomstick!
They keep piling up!
I have all the broomsticks now.
Look at all these brooms.
Look at all these brooms!
I'm a wizard, Harry!
(singing) Gotta get back to Hogwarts,
you gotta get back to school!
Guys, it's time to do Wingardium Leviosa,
and remember its Levi-oh-sa, not Levi-oh-saw.
Okay, in this challenge, you will use
the Wingardium Leviosa spell to activate code
so you can levitate the feather.
App starts, let's get the objects.
Let's add an object.
Let's connect it, and let's change owl to feather
because we want to levitate a feather,
we don't want to levitate an owl.
They can levitate themselves.
Let's find a feather.
There's a feather!
Use an on spell motion, so let's connect this.
Oh, we can choose our different spells!
Let's choose Wingardium Leviosa.
Okay, we're connecting it to the Wingardium Leviosa,
and change the pen to freeze in every one second.
Okay, so let's create every one second.
Let's make it milliseconds.
Now, set the position of the feather
using the set position block.
Okay, let's get our wand.
Let's put the x's and y's into position.
Finally, rotate the feather
to match the rotation of the coding wand.
So we open the physics and set the angle.
Open the wand and drag it here,
and we're going to be rolling.
Okay, so let's perform the spell.
Wingardium Leviosa!
(gasps)
It's floating!
I'm Wingardium Leviosa-ing!
Yay, we did it!
This is my favorite! I love this!
Professor Flitwick would be so proud.
(imitating Flitwick) Everyone look! Miss Granger's done it!
Once you complete challenges, you earn rewards,
like costumes and accessories for your avatar.
Guys, I'm adding my lion hat.
Oh, I love my lion hat!
Yay, I am my avatar!
Let's go code some more!
With this product, you have a block-based interface
for beginners, which helps showcase
coding concepts and principles.
It also has the ability to switch to Java Script.
That way you can see how the wand works through coding,
and you can develop some real coding skills.
There are tutorials and demos and challenges,
but you can do so much more!
As you advance in your coding, your only limit
in this wizarding world, is your creativity.
Create your own wand art, games and music!
And anytime you create your own project, you can share it
through the free online community Kano World.
There, you can see what other people have created
from around the world, leave a comment,
or remix someone's creation and make it your own.
Okay, I'm gonna go and create my own project.
So let's go to play, new creation,
when the app starts,
repeat, add an object.
Let's add an owl, but instead of an owl,
let's make it Bertie Bott's beans.
Let's get some beans in there.
And then let's add a wand, rumble pattern
On up, the objects should grow.
Oh my gosh, they're growing!
The beans are growing!
Let's repeat ten times.
(singing) Growing the beans, growing the beans.
Look at these beans getting bigger!
Engorgio!
Look at those beans!
Got some Felix Felicis and some beans.
Now, let's make them Engorgio.
Engorgio, engorgio, engorgio.
Bigger, bigger, bigger!
Just have fun!
Guys, this is what this coding kit is all about.
Having fun and making it your own.
Ravenclaw. Gryffindor!
Hufflepuff!
(singing) Changing the colors of a potion!
Oh, look at all the Pygmy Pufffs on the train!
They're going to Hogwarts.
(singing) There are all my Pygmy Puffs, I love them!
You can change the color of the wand.
You can change the color of your fireworks.
You can change the second number,
and you can choose which way you want
your wand to move to control the magic.
Look at all the beans!
Da da da da da da da!
(mimics Mario theme) Boom!
Oh!
