How many students can use the STEAM Student Set?
A single STEAM Student Set is ideal for 1-3 students. The kit contains two power modules, so it can accommodate two students working independently or 3 students working as a group.
What standards can I meet using the littleBits STEAM Student Set?
The 8 challenges in the littleBits STEAM Student Set link to engineering, design and other areas in the Next Generation Science Standards, allowing students to think and act like engineers long before they have deep technical knowledge.
You can find out more from the Teacher's Guide, which you can download at http://littlebits.com/student-set
What lessons and curriculum do you have?
The Teacher's Guide that comes with the STEAM Student Set includes lessons to accompany the 8 challenges in the Student Invention Guide. On our site, educators can also find ways to link the 8 challenges to the Next Generation Science Standards. Finally, we also have hundreds of littleBits lessons online that have been created by educators all over the world.
What do I do once I've done all the projects in the booklet? How do I keep learning and growing?
We have hundreds of lessons and inventions that you can access online and on our app for different ages and subjects. We have a global community of educators who regularly post lessons and inventions, and we'd love for you to add to the collection to keep building resources for fellow educators.
Beyond that, we have an online course with a strong hands-on element called the littleBits STEAM PD course. This course can help extend your understand of using littleBits in the classroom and is also a great way to educate your colleagues about littleBits.
How can I learn to use the STEAM Student Set with my students?
The STEAM Student Set was designed to be very easy for both teachers and students to understand and start using out of the box. We recommend that you spend some time on your own (or with friends and family) walking through the Student Invention Guide and online Teacher's Guide, getting to know the Bits and the challenges before introducing your students to littleBits. Our mission is to make it easy and fun for everyone of all ages to master the Bits and start inventing right away.
