ASK AN ENGINEER 10PM ET – 7/14/12! Special guest Ayah Bdeir.

Ayah Bdeir is the creator of littleBits, an open source system of pre-assembled, modular circuits that snap together with magnets – making learning about electronics fun, easy and creative. Each bit has a simple, unique function ( light, sound, sensors, buttons, thresholds, pulse, motors, etc), and modules snap to make larger circuits. The magnets ensures that you do not assemble the units in any wrong way. littleBits is an easy way to make prototypes or play using light, sound, and electric circuits without any soldering or wiring. You can make remote controls or alarms or anything you imagination throws up, and even combine this with other construction toys.

littleBits was founded on the belief that we need to create scientific thinkers and problem-solvers, and interventions need to occur early.

Ayah Bdeir, the founder of littleBits is an engineer and interactive artist who does not believe in boundaries set by disciplines or cultures. With an upbringing between Lebanon, Canada and the US, Bdeir’s work uses experimental tools to look at deliberate and subconscious representations of identity. Bdeir received her Masters degree from the MIT Media Lab and undergraduate degrees in Computer Engineering and Sociology from the American University of Beirut. Ayah lives and works in New York.

What is “Ask an engineer”? From the electronics enthusiast to the professional community – “Ask an Engineer” has a little bit of everything for everyone. If you’re a beginner, or a seasoned engineer – stop in and see what we’re up to! We have demos of projects and products we’re working on, we answer your engineering and electronics questions and we have a trivia question + give away each week. Mosfet the cat stops by too. Previous chats can be viewed at http://www.adafruit.com/ask

Chat details!

And don’t forget, 30 minutes before the show we’re doing our weekly show-and-tell. If you are on Google+ and want to join, just add/follow +Limor Fried’s (Ladyada) page and post a comment so you can be added to the show and tell circle. At 9:30pm ET you will see a link to the hang out. Just keep your mics muted until we call on you and have your project ready.

For those who just want to watch, you’ll be able to watch it live on Ustream here and we usually have a recorded version posted later.


Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!

Join us every Wednesday night at 8pm ET for Ask an Engineer!
