Review on STEAM Education Kit For 3 Students With LittleBits Technology by Mike Shah

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best Learning Toy I Have EVER Seen. Made My Daughter Start Looking for the "How " Behind the Electrical Gizmos All Around

This is by far the best educational toy I have EVER seen: Perfectly combining fun and learning. My 8 year old daughter and I have now spent quite a few hours with these without tiring. She can't wait to "play" as she learns basic electrical engineering.This set has everything that is needed to get very deeply involved in the littleBits system. There are two power sources (9V and USB powered DC). Multiple input devices are also provided including buttons, pulse generators, light sensor, and temperature sensor. Kids can use wires to connect or split signals. Then the desired output can be shown: Numerical (showing temperature, signal strength, counts, etc), lights, motor, servo, and more.The book to teach about the products is very, very well done. It not only teaches what each component is and what it does, but it also helps show the way these simple components are at work in the world around us. It's been great, my daughter has started to think about the "How" behind all of the electrical things around us. When she pushes a button, she understands that an electrical circuit has been affected; when a switch is pushed, or a camera clicks.a microphone, a speaker, a light, a motor.she is thinking about the electrical engineering behind it. This toy has single-handedly opened her mind to a world of electricity.

Pros
  • Gain creative confidence and 21st century skills: critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication
Cons
  • Some students may find the materials less engaging than traditional science experiments
