What are littleBits?

LittleBits are kind of like legos, but for circuits. Using littleBits, you can make a wide array of hardware projects straight out of the box. Want to connect a timer to another device (like a flashlight, a tool, a musicbox, or even a couch)? You can!

You don’t need to know how to code to get started with littleBits — all of the logic is pre-programmed.

Here are some of the things you can make:

A flashlight

A flashlight with a dimmer

Or even a flashlight with a dimmer and an alarm clock!

As you can see, you can begin to build upon each item and make more and more complex projects.
