If you’re looking for a simple way to evaluate the effectiveness of littleBits, the new Educator Starter Kit has what you need. This new release contains a carefully selected set of Bits designed to help educators discover how littleBits can help students learn and grow through STEAM. The kit allows teachers to get a feel for teaching with littleBits and allows district leaders to observe how well students interact with the technology before committing to purchasing larger kits.
The Educator Starter Kit is an entry-level STEAM solution and comes with five of the most commonly used Bits: Power, Servo, Wire, Button, and Slide Dimmer, allowing students to start developing skills for beyond the classroom. It also includes a bunch of littleBits accessories as well as a free curriculum guide on littleBits Classroom, so everyone's always inventing with a purpose. The inclusion of those five Bits was personally selected by the Sphero and littleBits teams and intended to help educators see the various types of inventions students could potentially build. Whether they use two, three, or all five of them, students will be able to mix and match these Bits in a bunch of different ways to create snap-and-play learning.
The Educator Starter Kit is perfect for quickly making easy-to-build inventions and laying a foundation for expanding STEAM initiatives in your school or district. Any teachers who love having a clear idea of how certain STEM tools will play out in their classrooms will benefit from this kit. It’s intended to clear things up and help classroom or makerspace instructors get a true feel for what it’s like teaching with littleBits. It requires no set-up time and can help educators secure buy-in for a larger littleBits rollout on a school- or district-wide level.
With the curriculum guides and other supporting materials, students will get to experience what inventing with littleBits is really like. Teachers can also access professional development videos and more helpful resources within littleBits’ free content library. The littleBits Educator Starter Kit serves as an excellent foundation for both teachers and students, providing for hours of inventing and STEAM learning that’s purposeful.
