LittleBits is a New York City company that sells modular electronic components that connect together with tiny magnets for modeling, learning and entertainment. About LittleBits - Littlebits is a new electronic building block toy for children that brings the simplicity of classic building blocks into the world of electronics, making science/technology fun and accessible;
- The modular electronic modules of littleBits include motors, pulsers, buzzers, sensors, batteries and other units. When they are spliced together, reliable and easy-to-use circuits and systems can be made. It requires almost no circuit knowledge and does not require repeated processes such as programming and welding. You only need to splice according to the existing structure diagram and you can combine what you want in a few minutes.
- You can also build what you want according to your own creativity, such as a guitar, bicycle, DJ player, robot, etc. LittleBits uses color coding and uses magnets to attract together to produce instantaneous circuits. Each module has a specific function, and all modules are attracted together to produce a stronger circuit, allowing everyone to design inventions of all sizes in seconds;
- Littlebits revolutionizes technology for kids. Color-coded electronic Bits modules snap together with magnets to form simple circuits, laying the foundation for young inventors to create anything they dream of - like an "annoying brother alarm," a glow-in-the-dark puppet, a bubble-blowing flute, whatever your imagination allows. Several kits are available that require no coding, wiring, or soldering;
- The significance of LittleBits lies in "popularizing science". It packages electronic circuits into sound, light, sensor and power modules, making things that were originally complex and difficult and belonged to experts and laboratories popular and interesting. Children, teachers, craftsmen, designers, makers and some people who like technology can all play with them without obstacles.
Business Content - LittleBits' main business is to create new gadgets by combining small magnetized and modular hardware together. Currently, they have more than 50 products classified by energy, input, output and wiring, including dimmers, buzzers, buttons, displays and other small devices. LittleBits' products can be purchased individually or sold in sets. The company's flagship product, the starter kit, costs $89.

- LittleBits is similar to an electronic version of Lego (but the modules are magnetically adsorbed instead of snapped together), and uses modular electronic devices to assemble various objects. A bunch of colorful components with built-in codes - motors, pulsers, buzzers, sensors, batteries - can be assembled to create reliable and easy-to-use circuits and systems. It requires basically no circuit knowledge, and does not require repetitive processes such as programming and welding. You only need to assemble according to the existing structural diagram, and you can assemble what you want in a few minutes. If you don't want to follow the instructions, you can also build what you want according to your own creativity, such as a guitar, a bicycle, a pirated CD, a robot, etc. LittleBits and its users are mostly open source players, and many people will share their ideas on Github or official websites, etc., and the materials are very rich ;
- littleBits is committed to innovation in hardware development, allowing users to create circuits in seconds without soldering, programming or wiring. LittleBits is both a prototyping tool and a high-tech gadget, and has been recognized as the "Lego of the iPad era" and the world's easiest to use electronic building kit. The brand's device modules (Bits) have completely changed the way people interact with technology. It breaks down electronic products into different basic parts (lights, sounds, sensors, motors, programmable circuits), allowing "non-experts" of different ages, including children, teachers, artists, designers, manufacturers, entertainment enthusiasts and technology enthusiasts, to easily use these electronic devices to design their products .
Product Brand - Who it’s for: Those who want to be manufacturing workers or engineers.
- Price range: “Each open source mold costs $8, and the deluxe starter set costs $199.
- LittleBits circuit building blocks are very interesting. They are composed of circuits and LED lights. This open source hardware toy is suitable for all ages and is perfect for those who love to do it. In addition, if you want to be a DJ, LittleBits has also launched a Synth game kit.
- The littleBits series includes a variety of "Bits" modules that can be connected by magnets, which simplifies the process of constructing basic crude tools, such as building a buzzer that automatically sounds when someone enters the room. Different colored Bits represent their different functions: blue ones provide power (via USB port or battery); pink "input" Bits are like switches that control lighting, movement or sound; green "output" Bits include a series of LEDs, as well as small fans, buzzers, vibrators or rotating machines.
Development History - In June 2012, littleBits announced a partnership with global company PCH International, with PCH responsible for the company's supply chain management. Products developed by littleBits can be applied to prototypes, puzzles and inspirational products; - On July 18, 2012, LittleBits received $3.65 million in venture capital in its Series A round, led by True Ventures. Khosla Ventures, O'Reilly Alpha Tech Ventures and Lerer Ventures also participated in this round of financing; - Completed a Series B financing of US$11.1 million on or around November 21, 2013; - In September 2013, littleBits announced the launch of its new Exploration Kit series. In early November, littleBits announced the launch of its SynthKit, created in collaboration with KORG, a leading global manufacturer of electronic musical instruments.
