It's still there, based on Raspberry Pi 3. The newer models are Intel based w Windows 10s. I'd preorder a Pi 5 and do a project w the kid where you source the pi, case, screen, get an old laptop or two a old router and set up a network lab.

Their website redesign is so unintuitive.

Agreed. Not sure what the status of the company is either. Their GitHub repos have been quiet for years.

There was a rather speculative article that went into what mightve changed from 2022: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32364631
Looks like their website has changed around. They used to have a kit that came with a raspberry pi (that you had to assemble yourself) and their own Linux-based OS that taught you about computers and the command line
