Why do we recommend Avengers Hero Inventor Kit?
You want to teach your kids about the wonderful world of circuits and electricity, but working with raw wires and boards is a pain in the butt, even for adults. It requires proper understanding of the difference between positive and negative charges, and sometimes you need to solder (a dangerous proposition for young children). Easy enough for kids, but advanced enough for their parents to enjoy, the littleBits system uses a series of magnetically snappable bits that let you combine a battery, input sensors and output parts (lights, motors and sensors) into a working project.
What’s in the box?
The Avengers Hero Inventor Kit comes with all the parts necessary to build a wearable gauntlet. These include a plastic case with straps on it, a clear case cover, a 9V battery and TK “bits,” the electronic pieces which snap together.
A single blue power bit with an on / off switch connects to the 9V battery. Three pink input bits — a button, an accelerometer and a light sensor — provide a means for your gauntlet to collect feedback from the wearer or the environment around them. The two green output bits are a speaker and a circular LED light with 45 pixels that can illuminate in different color patterns. There’s also an orange Bluetooth LE bit for communicating with your mobile device and two orange extension cable bits that allow you to add some space between bits you wish to mount on opposite sides of the gauntlet.
