Microsoft to Host “Harry Potter” Summer Coding Workshops with Kano Coding Kit

Young witches and wizards in the United States will avoid having a Dursley-ish summer thanks to Microsoft and the innovative Harry Potter Kano coding kits.

According to Romper, Microsoft will host a number of Harry Potter coding workshops in stores across the US, combining the technology of the Microsoft Surface tablet and the Harry Potter coding kit from Kano. Witches and wizards age eight and above will be introduced to the world of coding using the Kano kit, building up a foundation of knowledge using the magic of the Harry Potter series. They will then delve further into techniques of coding, learning to cast spells and even compete in a Quidditch match.

The Harry Potter Kano kit is the first Harry Potter STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) product. The kit aims to introduce young fans to the fundamentals of coding using the wizarding world franchise and hopefully spark a lifelong interest in coding and programming.
