We recently launched the newest addition to the littleBits line on our store. The littleBits Educator Starter Kit is designed to serve as an entry-level STEAM solution for teachers to gauge the effectiveness of the littleBits platform in their STEAM education initiatives. The kit is very much affordable and ready to use right out of the box.
This new release contains a carefully selected set of Bits designed to help educators discover how littleBits can help students learn and grow through STEAM. The kit allows teachers to get a feel for teaching with littleBits and allows district leaders to observe how well students interact with the technology before committing to purchasing larger kits.
We’re continually thankful and excited about our relationship with Bare Conductive. Although we’re from different continents, we love what their products enable for creative education. At the heart of their educational offerings, which are perfect for makerspaces, is their conductive paint. Yes, you read that correctly.
If you are looking to implement littleBits into your classroom or library, the STEAM Student Set is the perfect introductory kit. It’s designed to be used by 1-3 students at a time, comes in packs of one, six, eight, or 10, and can support multiple groups and classrooms. It is ideal for students in Grades 3-8 and includes a bunch of teacher resources.
The littleBits team recently released four expansion packs—two for the Code Kit and two for the STEAM Student Set. And, for this week’s Eduporium Experiment, we’re getting into the Code Kit Expansion Packs, the additional components they include, and the bonus projects students can make!
Covering four specific areas (science, math, technology, and computer science), these kits help ensure students grasp key concepts through scaffolded and engaging activities! Keep reading to learn more about each of these expansion packs and why they’re a good option for any STEAM-loving, littleBits-using teacher.
Creative kids now have a line of all-new littleBits kits they can work with for all STEM projects. Designed to facilitate active invention and increase their engagement, these newer kits enable children to construct a bunch of cool contraptions! The Base Inventor Kit, Electronic Music Inventor Kit, and also the Space Rover Kit plus the littleBits app are perfect for young inventors.
Our Educator Discount program allows any educator who purchases technology from us to save as much as 20 percent when they purchase from our store. While the discounts range in amount depending on what they buy, there is at least some of a discount on almost everything and here are some of the biggest educational discounts on our store.
This Fourth of July, we decided to experiment with Bare Conductive’s Touch Board to help spark an interest in circuitry among our readers. The Touch Board is a limitless interface at the heart of some of Bare Conductive’s most innovative STEAM tools. Using it, students can turn touch into sound with the help of conductive materials.
Inventing things is a great way for children to blossom into STEAM superstars. Never running out of things to invent is a whole different experience. The littleBits Pro Library is new and improved, providing creative students with enough parts to design intricate inventions or colossal creations.
