littleBits are a platform of easy-to-use electronic building blocks that are designed to empower students to create inventions, large and small. They’re an excellent resource for 3rd - 12th grade students, and can be used to help familiarize kids with basics of circuitry, coding, engineering, and design. littleBits have been around for the last seven years, and I’ve had the opportunity to use them in K-12 settings as well as with the preservice teachers I work with.
While littleBits offers a collection of great kits, this review will specifically focus on their Droid Inventor Kit, which allows students to create their own Star Wars R2-D2 droid, program it, and send it on various missions. This kit was originally launched in Sept. 2017, but their team added the coding functionality in April of this year.
