littleBits is thrilled to be part of Wearables Week at Makezine! For those that arent’ familiar with littleBits: littleBits is a library of electronic modules that snap together with magnets for prototyping, learning, and fun. Given the small physical size of littleBits, we love thinking of new ways to use them to make wearables. Here […]
The snap-together circuits are now programmable thanks to the new Arduino module.
If you’ve done enough making, you’ll know that being a do-it-yourselfer can create quite a ruckus at times, intentional or not! We in the Maker Shed love our group of rowdy new products, which range from melodious to totally discordant.
littleBits’ Synth Kit it’s a series of open-source synthesizer modules, co-designed with synth legends Korg. In short, it lets kids experiment with electronic music.
Combine snap-together electronics gurus littleBits with Korg’s synthesizer mastery and you get an impressive kit for creating modular synths.
littleBits CEO Ayah Bdeir spoke at the Make: Innovation stage about littleBits, a line of kid-friendly modular electronics. She said when kids see littleBits they dive right in and start building circuits, while adults are much more fearful, afraid they’ll break something and wanting to read the instructions first.
“The distinctions between software and hardware are disappearing.”
