A call for three young inventors (age 8-12) to be part of something not so little #littleBits
Check out this call for young inventors sent over by our friends at littleBits!
We’re looking for three inventors (aged 8-12) to be a part of something not so little!
littleBits will be filming a 3-episode web-series, filled with fun challenges and exploration. Each child will have the chance to invent, create and experiment with the new littleBits kits, BEFORE THEY ARE RELEASED.
littleBits is an open source library of electronic modules that snap together with magnets for prototyping, learning and fun. You can find more information about us on: www.littlebits.cc/about
The show will be hosted by none other than the founder of littleBits, Ayah Bdeir.
3 littleInventors, taking on 3 fun challenges, to make 3 awesome inventions.
The participants will be part of a trailblazing experience! And at the end of the experience, participants will get to take home a littleBits library valued at over $500!
If you and your child live in the tri-state area and would like to participate in the littleBits web-series (filming a few select days in August), send us an email at: [email protected]

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
