littleBits recently unveiled its Inventor Kits as new [STEM toys for kids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dino-adventure-pack) that are centered on empowering kids and #MakingChangemakers. The three new STEM kits include the Base Inventor Kit, the [Electronic Music Kit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourstep-sequencer) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-9), 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.
