littleBits Gadgets and Gizmos
All events hosted at SCLSNJ’s Hillsborough Library branch.
littleBits Gadgets and Gizmos series is designed for youth to both learn about and explore STEAM concepts and 21st century skills. littleBits are kits that are composed of electronic building blocks that are color-coded, magnetic, and make complex technology simple and fun. Together they’re interchangeable in millions of different ways to empower youth to invent anything.
