Maker Faire Bay Area 2009
littleBits

Stage B , Sunday 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM Ayah, the author of littleBits will talk about how to make electronics a traditional material, like paper, plastic, cardboard, nuts and bolts. Make something, light it, push it, turn it, twist it, bend it, buzz it, blink it, shake it!

Location:   Expo Hall  126   

littleBits is an opensource library of discrete electronic components pre-assembled in tiny circuit boards. Just as Legos allow you to create complex structures with little engineering knowledge, littleBits are simple, intuitive blocks that make prototyping with sophisticated electronics a matter of snapping small magnets together.
