LITTLEBITS

littleBits are colorful modular electronic building Bits. They snap together easily using small magnets to build fully-fledged and functioning inventions. Each bit has a specific function such as an input or an output like an LED or a motor.  The kits help make learning about circuitry and electronics fun and imaginative and are ideal for situations where you want to incorporate STEM education using a circuit kit.  Access lesson plans, educator guides, activities, troubleshooting tips, and customizable handouts for different grades, subjects, and learning pathways online at the littleBits Classroom.
