littleBits Fuse App
Expand upon what your inventions can do using the littleBits Fuse app to program your Bits using conditionals, loops, and functions. Students can create virtual circuits in their own workspace and learn how littleBits’ snap together to ensure their Bits are compatible and their inventions can come to life.
Designed for learner progression, students can take notes in their digital inventor’s notebook and program using blocks or JavaScript. You can save your workspace as well as send it back to your teacher for review.
Technical: Fuse is a progressive web app that is browser based and uses Chrome’s fast web USB/BLE API for connection management. For programming Fuse uses MakeCodes block programming canvas.
