littleBits STEAM Student Set
Make engineering FUN!
Meet the complete electronics kit for kids designed to encourage exploration, experimentation, and creativity. Developed with educators, the STEAM Student Set makes the engineering design process fun and iterative for students while giving you everything you need to easily implement 20+ hours of standards-aligned curriculum in the classroom. Unpack the STEAM Student Set and transform students into inventors! Recommended for ages 8+.
Each color-coded Bit has a specific function (e.g. lights, sensors, motors, inputs, and outputs) and is modular and reusable for an infinite number of inventions. Use the littleBits modular system to create inventions that solve any problem! Empower students to let their imagination take flight by customizing their inventions with crafts and household items.
Guided activities prompt students to find solutions to real-world problems through applying engineering, physics, art, and design thinking concepts. Students can then advance their skills to the next level by tackling open challenges that help to change the world. Your student will benefit from hands-on learning through tinkering with inputs, outputs, sensors, and motors to gain tech literacy, application of fundamental concepts such as circuitry, engineering, physics, art, and design thinking and creative confidence and critical 21st century skills through scaffolded activities.
PRO TIP: Dive deeper into science and math concepts with our STEAM Student Set Expansion Pack: Science and STEAM Student Set Expansion Pack: Math. Each expansion pack includes new Bits, accessories, and 12+ hours of lessons and activities.
