littleBits founder Ayah Bdeir dropped by with some demo units of the newest kits soon to be launched as well as a sneak peek at some new bits like a wireless transmitter + receiver and the number bit. littleBits are color-coded components. Think motors and lights and buzzers and sensors and batteries that can be snapped together (thanks to magnetic connectors) to create honest-to-goodness circuits and systems. The beauty of these little things though is that they require precisely zero expertise, and encourage blind experimentation.
