LittleBits are small circuitry modules that snap together and in order to power lights, make something more, emit a sound, or more!
Younger teens will have a great time coming up with an ultimate goal and then finding a way to make that goal become a reality. There are over 70 different types of modules that all do different things, so the possibilities are endless. Littlebits can be circulated and used for a program. It can be utilized with a program that follows a lesson plan. If it's circulated as a kit it will need to include specific instructions and activities.
