Full STEAM Ahead With littleBits

The Description

This year I want to implement littleBits electronic learning blocks in my classroom so my students are able to develop their creative confidence and curiosity. With littleBits my students will be able to use the color coded building blocks to create and test inventions both big and small. This way they can use both their hands and brains to solve real world problems when their isn’t a clear solution. I want to emphasize to my students that they don’t have to be just consumers of technology, they can also be inventors.

littleBits are comprised of 60 different color-coded modules that can be connected to make over a million different electronic combinations. Students are able to use different combinations buzzers, switches, lights, wheels and more to create anything that they put their mind to.

This is where you come in! With every generous donation that is made littleBits will be one step closer to my students’ hands.

Here is the breakdown of our goal of $926.59 for littleBits

littleBits Gizmos & Gadgets, 2nd Edition (x4)$759.80
PledgeCents partner product sourcing and logistics$92.66
PledgeCents fulfillment and labor$46.33
WePay payment and processing fee$27.80
Total goal amount$926.59

The amounts calculated above are used to ensure the fundraising goal covers all fees. Actual fees will be calculated and collected on a per transaction basis, therefore total amounts may vary once the fundraiser ends. Calculated fees consist of a 10% sourcing fee, 5% fulfillment & labor fee and 3% processing fee.

Back Up Plan

I will purchase as many Bits as possible for my classroom so my students are able to experience these wonderful kits.

LittleBits Gizmo and Gadget Kits

October 1, 2017

Thank you for your support and donation to this effort.

We raised enough to purchase one of the kits. The reason I am aiming for 4 kits is so that each Art table group can work with their own kit. I will continue to seek out funding from other grant sources for the other 3 kits. Our first project will be to build motorized drawing machines and attempt to control them as precisely as possible.

Thank you again.

Sincerely,

Alicia Marrano
