LittleBits Circuits in the Classroom
Thanks to a grant for $2500, our school was able to purchase some LittleBits Premium and Synth kits. Some students worked with the Premium Kit, familiarizing themselves with the different components, making the Hypnotizing Wheel and Auto Greeter. The other group used the Synth Kit to create their own music. All students culminated their activities by partnering up to build the Bubble Flute, which used 3 components (power, sound trigger, fan) from the Premium Kit.

Simple Circuits
Students in this week’s after school class are learning how to build simple circuits. I created this Google Slideshow to explain some important points, such as placement of components on the breadboard, checking voltage and cutting your own jump wires.
