Purple Computer

Turn an old laptop into a calm first kids computer. A calm, offline computer for kids. Transform your old laptop into an offline space for open-ended play. A whole computer that's fully theirs: no wrong keys to press and they put it down on their own. Designed for ages 3-10: learning letters to writing code. I built this for my 4-year-old.
