LittleBits Lab

 

 

The LittleBits Invention Kits introduce foundational STEAM skills like creativity, problem solving, and engineering design—through screen-free, electronic building blocks called Bits. With different colored Bits for power, input, and output, students of all skill levels will intuitively grasp circuit basics while using the engineering design process to create their own inventions.

LittleBits encourage screen-free creativity, collaborative learning, and open-ended challenges.
