If Robots Will Run the World, What Should Students Learn?

Transistors are made tangible for kids - and parents! littleBits are genius and super-cool too. Engineering may never be considered stodgy or way-too-complicated ever again.
Believe it or not, you can better understand how an iPad responds to touch or how a vending machine works just by picking up a few littleBits and snapping them together at their magnetic connections.
No soldering, no wiring, no programming. Simply snap a few littleBits together and make circuits, sensors, and motors - basic machines with big appeal. Modules (power, input, output, and wire) snap together magnetically to create larger circuits. The littleBits Starter kit is guaranteed to keep kids -or you, occupied for hours.
Ten color coded modules are included in the littleBits Starter Kit:
Power
Button
Dimmer
Pressure sensor
Pulse
LED
RGB LED
Vibration motor
Barograph
Wire
Once you get going with littleBits- you'll see their potential. With many individual accessory littleBits transistors available, just add a new one to your collection every now and then for renewed innovation and fun!

As one of the top online toy retailers, we have access to unprecendented quantities of product review data. One of the key ways that we use this data is by associating our products to the specific ages and genders of the kids who are playing with them. Whereas most retailers must rely upon manufacturer suggested ages (i.e. 3+), we take actual customer usage and share it with you here so that you can choose the perfect toy or game.
But how does this help me? You can use these graphs as a general measure of it's appropriateness for a given age and gender. While this information is generally accurate, it should not be used as an absolute answer. For instance, many dinosaur toys are purchased for boys, however, that doesn't mean that it's inappropriate for a girl who happens to like dinosaurs.

NOTE: The orange color in the charts above indicate ages that are LESS than the manufacturer suggested age. Please purchase at your discretion if your child is younger than 8 years of age.

I love the simplicity of this product. My son loves being able to build "cool" things with it. We are excited to get additional pieces too.
