Educational Changemaker Kits

littleBits' Inventor Kits Inspire Kids to Change the World with STEM

— September 12, 2018 — Life-Stages
littleBits recently unveiled its Inventor Kits as new STEM toys for kids that are centered on empowering kids and #MakingChangemakers. The three new STEM kits include the Base Inventor Kit, the Electronic Music Kit and the Space Rover Inventor Kit, which will appeal to the members of Gen Z who are already thinking big about the positive changes they can make in the world.

In the Base Inventor Kit, kids will find more than a dozen activities that are connected to the free Inventor App, some of which will call for the making of robotic gripper arms, while others challenge kids to assist their local community or play a part in caring for the environment.

With its new kits, littleBits is using the opportunity to share inspiring stories of thoughtful young leaders, such as the 16-year-old who created a new method for cleaning the world's oceans.
