From solving problems with science, to inventing tomorrow with technology, using engineering to design for good, inspiring imagination with art, and cracking codes with math, we make STEAM relevant for every kid and teacher.
Happy International Women’s Day! The theme of this year’s campaign is #BalanceForBetter and it is meant to help us think of ways that we can help to forge a more gender-balanced world.
Here at littleBits, we have a lot of respect for women throughout history. We look to them every day for insight and perspective on how to be strong, brave, and forward-thinking. Below are some of our inspirations.
If you’ve ever played around with littleBits, regardless of your age, gender, or technical level, you’ve experienced the delight derived from inventing something with your own two hands. littleBits is committed to getting kids — and especially girls — into STEAM by reaching them before middle school. This is important for a lot of reasons, but one that is irrefutable is the fact that the majority of jobs will require the skills that are taught through STEM learning.
As parents, we are always looking for new ways to engage our children in learning — especially when it comes to STEAM. Often, learning experiences can be found in the simple daily activities that take place at home. Let’s look at a few ways that you can incorporate some fun — and some STEAM — into simple chores.
Extend your play by combining Bits from the littleBits Electronic Music Inventor Kit and the littleBits Avengers Hero Inventor Kit to create a custom DJ Booth!
