Featured Activities
Doodle Wizard
Make a doodle bot made with DC motors, and a pulse that dances, wiggles, and draws up a storm. Add your own artistic flair by changing up some of the Bits and materials to create unique masterpieces.
See ActivityCircuit Car
Build a circuit cruiser, a vehicle that gets around with 2 DC motors. Add extra features to this lean, mean, mobile machine. Use it to deliver school supplies to your friends, help your teacher pass out papers, or wake up your sleeping classmate.
See ActivityLauncher
Build a launcher that flings projectiles with a servo at the press of a button. Set up a tower of cups and try to knock them over. Then modify your launcher to make it even more accurate, powerful, or speedy. Challenge your friends to see who can knock over the most cups.
See ActivityWhat your Students will Gain
Hands-On Learning
Hands-on learning through tinkering with inputs, outputs, sensors, and motors to gain tech literacy.
Lessons
Application of fundamental concepts such as circuitry, engineering, physics, art, and design thinking.
Serious Skills
Creative confidence and critical 21st century skills through scaffolded activities.
Endless opportunities for invention
Each colour-coded Bit has a specific function (e.g. lights, sensors, motors, inputs, and outputs) and is modular and reusable for an infinite number of inventions. Use the littleBits modular system to create inventions that solve any problem! Empower students to let their imagination take flight by customising their inventions with crafts and household items.
Guided activities prompt students to find solutions to real-world problems through applying engineering, physics, art, and design thinking concepts. Students can then advance their skills to the next level by tackling open challenges that help to change the world.
