Anything you've learned to share about having it as a computer for your first grader? I recently set one up for my daughter, same age, but haven't put much thought into the software side yet. She's played Minecraft-pi a couple of times, we made the cat meow in Scratch, and we used it to watch a movie the other day, but that's it so far.
It's great that Kano makes it available standalone. Kano OS has all the activities built into the image, including visual coding of Minecraft and other tools, and guided lessons around using the Terminal. Chromium and LibreOffice are also installed by default. There's also a curated app "store" like experience to add new games.
Installing CUPS to add our printer to the Kano OS Pi was pretty straightforward, so he also uses it for personal writing and printing out stories.
It's really engaging for our son, and provides ample time for parent-child learning opportunities to boot. We ended up getting the Pixel Kit while we were at it, and Kano OS picked up on it immediately and exposed all the lessons for it.
Hoping their move to Windows 10 doesn't leave their Kano OS image locked to a Pi 3, though. I'd love to upgrade his Pi to a 4 soon.
