So, basically? Littlebits is a series of interchangeable component parts connected by magnets, cutting out the middle man, which is the circuitry board? Sweet! What a novel concept!

In my opinion, people typically don't pursue electronics because of three factors: difficulty, danger, and cost. I really like this concept because it makes things easy and safe. I truly hope the product succeeds and the company does well, but they really have to bring the price down. These kits are extremely expensive - too expensive in my opinion. Starter kit should sell for around $39 (instead of $80). Deluxe kit should sell for $99 (instead of $200). My son loves to watch me build stuff and always wants to join in the action, but I get nervous when he goes near a soldering iron or etching solution. This would be a great way for him to build stuff safely on his own... if it wasn't for the cost.

Guys, you can think something without actually saying it. She's a freakin' MIT engineer. Have some respect.

I am really interested in these. I think they may help me make prototypes. Instead of having to put together a circuit and test it out, I can just snap together each module. That should be easier to trouble shot problems. Also I do not have to waste anything. I can just take it apart and rebuild anytime I want. Instead of having to sit down and draw out my circuit, put it together and see if it works, I can just sit at my work table and start throwing parts together.

Always thrilled to see women in tech. She definitely reminds of LadyAda in a way.

WANT!!!! Loving this hacks & modular always rocks! ^^

So nice electronic kit. Super idé to learn children and older persons like me about electronic. Nice information video. Like you both. Please continue the good work. From Sweden--- Oderup.

what si this kit called? with the wireless thing

uh a nice sneak peak ^^

I love littlebits an there company!

yes

IED's made easy!

The new but that display the numbers can be useful in my brother's custom back to the future DeLorean, it is so simulator

Got one its freaking fun

I saw her on TED

hola esta padre

ipad Lego? whaaaaaaat!

make laser diode bricks!

Seems a "little bit" of a ripoff of snap circuits which have been around for years. Just sayin.

I thing littleBits is a fast and easy concept to make simpel circuit, while one not has to have a complet understand over the circuit. how ever for the prize of 2 littleBits Kit you can get: a lab power supply, a Fluke, a bred bord and a lot of components. it semes to be nice toy to get people huk on electronics

Whats shawty's @ tho?

lol

such a fake laugh at the end, tisk tisk

i was born in the wrong genoration

A bit too anti-knowledge. The only thing this teaches is magnetism. Basic electronics is already easy, PPL. its already like lego. Solderless breadboards are super easy and way better than this. If you don't have to manually connect some wires, at what point are you thinking about whats happening electrically, and learning something? Bad product, at least in terms of education. Doesn't really do artists any favours either,unless they're stupid rich.

God damn that some expensive shit. Immediately turned away from it
