littleBits are electronic building blocks, called Bits, that snap together with magnets to create circuits. Each Bit is color-coded by its function in the circuits, providing a simple and intuitive user experience. In addition, all Bits are compatible with each other, allowing countless creative possibilities.

This invention-based STEM Kit contains three littleBits STEAM Student Sets for a total of 78 Bits, 237 accessories, and helpful educator resources such as the student invention guide and teacher's guide. Whether tinkering alone or in small groups of 2-3, kids will discover that engineering design is fun and empowering.
