Getting Started with littleBits
littleBits is the award-winning modular electronics platform that has put
the power of electronics in the hands of everyone. Just snap them
together—no soldering, programming, or wiring needed. No matter your
age, gender or technical ability, whether you’re a young maker, an analog
musician, an interaction designer, or a STEM/STEAM teacher, littleBits is
the easiest way to learn and invent with electronics.
Start from the very simple (lights, sounds, sensors) and invent your way
to the very complex (wireless RF, programmable, cloud-connected), with
billions of possible combinations. With littleBits, you can unleash your
inner inventor.
Written by littleBits creator Ayah Bdeir (TED Senior Fellow, co-founder
of the Open Hardware Summit, MIT 35 under 35), and MAKE editor
Matt Richardson, this book is the most extensive guide to the modular
electronics platform that has revolutionized hundreds of thousands of
makerspaces, schools, design studios and homes in over 70 countries.
With
