Building blocks for the digital age

June 6, 2012

This fascinating TED video brings to light a fantastic invention called ‘LittleBits’ that allows children to experiment and use their creativity to build electronic and digital systems.  This idea has the potential to transform the way young children are introduced to ideas underpinning modern day electronics and the digital world.

LittleBits offers a ‘library’ of electronic gizmo’s or modules that children can use to create prototypes of their own invention.

You can learn more about this concept and the product at the LittleBits website.
