Our story


How we got our start
littleBits was my experiment to make engineering more fun, more playful, and more inviting to people who aren’t engineers. I took it to Maker Faire in 2009, and suddenly people started lining up to play with the Bits. I realized there was a real opportunity to inspire kids to invent with technology.
What makes our product unique
littleBits invented the electronic building block! Our magnetic “Bits” snap together to turn ideas into inventions, transforming the way kids learn so they can grow up to be tomorrow’s changemakers no matter their age, gender, race, nationality, or ability.
Why we love what we do
I'm inspired by all our makers. We have a young girl in our community who is teaching herself to code and prototype an echo-locator device with littleBits. Others have made pet activity monitors or autonomous driving robots. The creativity and inventive spirit of kids using our Bits blows me away.

    School/STEM Educator Review of littleBits Invention Kits
    Target group: elementary K-5 public school with a STEAM innovative program designation. Our 5th graded gifted/high achiever class assisted with this review, along with other reviews for littleBits invention kits that we purchased.Pros:-Students were very engaged after opening and organizing parts and materials.-Allowed students to tinker with individual components to see how they worked without initial instruction (Makerspace mentality).-Encourages collaboration as a small group activity.-App interface was easy to access, use, and follow. Videos were detailed for builds, and completion unlocked the next video/build.-From the viewpoint of a teacher, various builds can lead to connections to science standards (series circuits, forms of energy, forces & motion, the scientific process, etc). The music kit attracted the interest of pianist student and his friends, and they had a lot of fun putting together the guitar and getting it to play music!-Will be a great addition to our future Makerspace room!Cons:-Build instructions should also be available online (web-based). Not all schools readily have access to smart devices like phones or tablets. My students had to use their own personal devices (elementary students don't all have smart phones).-Cardboard components may not last if the kits are disassembled and passed on in a school setting. I would consider plastic molds/parts.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A "synthsational" music kit
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 12, 2018
    I've never experienced a kit like this before. I admit that I was puzzled at first, but it's incredibly cool once you take a stab at it. You start by downloading the app and from there you learn about circuits and how to assemble the bits and cardboard together to build your own mini "guitar"/keytar. My nephew (8 years old) thought it was absolutely wicked that there were many unique ways of making sounds from this. You can make music either by pressing keys, fiddling with the knobs, moving around with the accelerometer, or using your hands and a proximity sensor. The sounds are also pretty neat and that little speaker is strong. He brought this to school and had quite a bit of fun showing it off. I usually purchase STEM toys as presents and this is truly one of the fun ones. Would not hesitate to recommend for kids that love music or tech!
