Ideal for upper elementary students (grades 3 and up), the littleBits Invention Kit (1 kit) introduces foundational STEAM skills—such as creativity, problem solving, and engineering design—through screen-free, engaging electronic building blocks called Bits. With different colored Bits for power, input, and output, students of all skill levels will intuitively grasp circuit basics while using the engineering design process to create their own inventions.

Explore the littleBits Bitopedia to learn more about each type of Bit and its role in creating dynamic inventions.

SCREEN-FREE CREATIVITY: Encourages hands-on learning, giving students valuable learning time without screens.

COLLABORATIVE LEARNING: Ideal for teamwork and project-based learning in classroom settings.

QUICK START WITH INSTANT FEEDBACK: Color-coded blocks make setup and inventing simple, with real-time feedback that encourages experimentation from the first snap.

GUIDED CHALLENGES: Includes open-ended challenges and guided cross-curricular lesson plans that introduce engineering design basics and foster critical thinking.

VERSATILE AND REUSABLE: Modular pieces adapt to various projects and easily integrate across subjects.
