LittleBits Rule Your Room Kit

Modular electronics kit with Makey Makey module for children

The littleBits Rule Your Room Kit is a solderless modular electronics kit designed to introduce children to creating interactive inventions. Its central module is the w14 Makey Makey, a littleBits version of the famous Makey Makey component that transforms any conductive object into a button or switch using crocodile clips. littleBits modules connect to each other via magnets colour-coded according to their function: blue for power, pink for inputs, green for outputs, orange for logic. No programming is required to get started. The kit includes instructions for 8 inventions and 1 challenge, with unlimited possibilities for expansion by combining the modules with everyday objects.

Solderless littleBits kit with Makey Makey module, instructions for 8 inventions, colour-coded magnetic modules and compatibility with the entire littleBits library to create interactive gadgets without programming.

What you can create and learn with the littleBits Rule Your Room Kit

• Makey Makey w14 module: turns any conductive object into a button or switch using crocodile clips
• Colour-coded magnetic modules: connection with no risk of wiring errors
• Step-by-step instructions for 8 inventions and 1 challenge included in the kit
• No programming required to complete the basic projects
• Compatible with the entire littleBits module library for more complex projects
• Can be combined with everyday objects to create personalised inventions

Children follow the step-by-step instructions to assemble their first gadget in minutes, without tools or soldering. Once the 8 inventions have been completed, they can modify the circuits, combine the modules in different ways and incorporate their own objects to create something new every time. The Makey Makey module opens up a wide range of possibilities: a banana, a spoon or a glass of water can become functional buttons.

What else you’ll need

• Batteries or USB power supply, depending on the modules included in the kit
