littleBits is a hands-on learning system of electronic building blocks that allows students of all ages to create with technology.
In developing the littleBits education experience with the STEAM Student Set and Code Kit, we learned a lot about how to make engaging and creative learning experiences.
We wanted to take what we had learned and apply it to our line of home/consumer kits and reinvigorate that part of the brand after two years of licensed Disney kits. I put together a small team and we developed three new kits and a companion mobile app that focused on kids as changemakers.
