Introduction to Hardware with littleBits
- 1. An Introduction to Hardware Using littleBits and your imagination.
- 2. Hardware is how we describe electronics that connect together and make something new.
- 3. Think of the things you use.

- 7. They’re all made of other smaller pieces. Usually, many smaller pieces.
- 9. These pieces work together to make something new.
- 10. Microsoft Band
- 12. Can you think of something that is made of smaller pieces?
- 13. How do these pieces work together?
- 14. Power enables things to work.
- 15. Input is a signal to do something.
- 16. Output is what happens.
- 17. Connection allows pieces to talk.
- 18. Logic is how things should happen.
- 19. Guess what? You’re going to build something!
- 20. You’re going to use littleBits.
- 21. They’re like electronic Legos.
- 22. There are all different kinds. POWER OUTPUT LOGIC SENSORS WIRE INPUT
- 23. Power bits are blue.
- 24. Input bits are pink.
- 25. Wire bits are orange.
- 26. Output bits are green.
- 27. Ready to build something simple?
- 28. Let’s explore littleBits. 1 FLASHLIGHT 2 3 LIGHT METER PULSE + SPIN
- 29. Try it out!
- 30. GOOD JOB!
- 31. What do you think?
- 32. Any ideas of what you could build?
- 33. Sound Controlled Car Project by virgilm on littlebits.cc
- 34. Squirrel Cam Project by joeymail on littlebits.cc
- 35. Ready to build something more complex?
- 36. It’s time to get creative!
- 37. How? LITTLEBITS + OTHER MATERIALS
- 38. Your options include: Pick something to build Invent something new Both A B C
- 39. Pick a starting point 1 2 SWING + ACTION SPIN + BRANCH
- 40. Invent something BRAINSTORM BUILD Sketch out your idea. Using littleBits and materials.
- 41. Or, do both. We’ll be here to help.
- 42. Let’s build!
- 43. Time to wrap up.
- 44. Demo time! Who wants to share?
- 45. What did you learn?
- 46. Hardware is fun! • Hardware is made of smaller pieces. • There are different types of pieces. • Smaller pieces talk to each other. • We explored littleBits. • You made something unique!
