littleBit STEAM Kits

LittleBits are small magnetic bits that easily snap together. Each bit performs a specific function. They are color coded according to function: power, input, output, and logic. LittleBits bring invention literacy to life allowing students to create, recreate, think critically, problem solve and build life skills.

Tips

  • The modules connect via a magnetic connection only one way - rotate or change ends so the magnets connect
