The littleBits are an electronic proto-typing tool - where you can try out inventions. The Spheros are programmable balls that we can use to build programming challenges. Coming soon are teacher workshops to assist with including these STEM tools in the curriculum.
In January, the library received a littleBits kit and Spheros (robotic balls). The two learning tools are part of the MakerSpace. Students have already begun to explore these tools during the grade 5 in-school field trip and during 'Make Things Thursday.' Along with the 3D printer, students are having fun while teaching each other how to code, scale objects, program and invent.
