Play rock, paper, scissors against this animatronic hand. *To make this project, you will need to download the Arduino software.The hand is controlled by littleBits' new Arduino module and programmed to randomly move into rock, paper, or scissor position when prompted by you. This wireless interaction begins with a press of a button on your own glove. 1,2,3 shoot. Choose your hand position, and the animatronic hand will do the same. The Arduino module will be able to tell who wins and will play either a tune of victory or defeat.For more “getting started” sketches, click here.For support check out the littleBits and Arduino forums.To learn more about coding, find examples on Arduino’s website.
Powering every city and town is a unique and complex electricity grid, complete with power sources, substations, transmission wires, and electrical outputs. In this lesson, students build and power their own city to understand electricity and the electronics that many of us use every day. Based on a littleBits’ workshop on recreating the power outages caused by Hurricane Sandy, this lesson asks students to imagine how large storms or other natural disasters can affect the power grid in the city they build.Learn more about the original littleBits workshop that inspired this lesson:http://littlebits.cc/hurricane-sandy-workshop-photosObjectives:Students will be able to:Construct cities from accessible materialsUse littleBits to power their cityCompare and contrast the power grid in their model to an actual, real-life power gridDemonstrate how a natural disaster (i.e. tornado, ice storm, earthquake) could affect power in their city. Assessment:Use a Know Wonder Learn (KWL) chart to pre-assess what students know about power grids. Revisit the KWL chart periodically to document student learning and list further questions for inquiry. At the conclusion of the activity, consider using the attached 3-2-1 chart to assess student understanding as well as remaining questions.Standards:Next Generation Science Standards:PS3: EnergyESS3: Earth and human activityETS1: Engineering designETS2: Links among engineering, technology, science, and society

Prank your friends by setting up this simple circuit in their locker! With some clever placement and a little bit of disguise you will be able to surprise your friends when they try and put their books back in their locker. A simple project to help you go back to school in style...littleBits style!
This portable mini boombox is great for carrying around town. Just place a synth circuit (with 2 speakers) on two sandwiched mounting boards and add an exterior casing. Then spread some music love to the streets.Check out the Mounting Board Tips & Tricks page here.
Through a combination of LEGO and littleBits, we were able to create a super smart cockroach that reacts to its environment just like a real one would. It is able to navigate tricky spaces and it scurries when it is exposed to light. When it finds a dark place to hide, it lays low and stays put. How it works:Navigation - The two bend sensors act as sensing antennas to help the cockroach navigate its surroundings. When the cockroach approaches a wall, the closest bend sensor will be activated. This will cause the opposite wheel to stop spinning due to the inverter before the dc motor, steering the cockroach away from the wall.Shadow Seeking - The cockroach has two light triggers. The light trigger is set on light mode, so when each of the sensors sees light, the wheels spin. When a light trigger sees darkness, it's corresponding wheel stops spinning, making it so the cockroach turns toward the darkness. If both light sensors are in the darkness, the cockroach stops moving completely.
