Creative kids build and customize a planetary rover using littleBits electronic building blocks, then transform it by adding out-of-this-world capabilities!
The kit was designed around over 30 activities in the littleBits Inventor App that guide kids through building and controlling space vehicle inventions, like a space rock collector or an alien life detector, learning STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) skills, and drawing inspiration from real space pioneers. Through both hands-on and digital play, kids gain lifelong skills to become changemakers through invention.
Product features include tech sensors, paper templates, wheels, mounting boards, LED light, motors, battery and stickers.
Features
Complete kit: 15 Bits and 19 accessories, including paper templates, a sticker sheet and a 9V battery with cable.
Modular system: all littleBits electronic blocks (even in other kits!) can be combined and reconfigured to create brand-new inventions.
No grown-ups necessary: kids can easily assemble with step-by-step instruction videos.
