TAKE THE CHALLENGE!

littlebitsbday

Invent a celebration creation to amp up littleBits’ 5th birthday party. We’re turning 5! So we’re throwing a gigantic party to celebrate, but need a little help with the entertainment. We challenge you to use the power of Bits to make the extravaganza a little more fun. Think: a cake that sings to you, your own personal arcade, or confetti cannons galore.

After all these years, the most important thing to us is still that moment where it all clicks, and you become an inventor. Take the challenge and help us celebrate 5 years of moments.

NEED SOME HELP GETTING STARTED?

Use the Invention Cycle to get going:

Invention Cycle

CREATE: Brainstorm a few ideas, pick your favorite, and create a prototype.

Think about what makes a birthday party fun. Games? Cakes? Costumes? Play with some ideas in your head and build a prototype (or three!) with your Bits. Don’t worry about getting everything right on the first try. The important thing is to just get started and experiment. Here are a few directions to get you started:

PLAY: Give your prototype a test run.

Is it fun to use? Test your invention with friends or your family to see what they think.

REMIX: Try adding or subtracting Bits or materials to see if it improves your invention.

How can you make your birthday invention even better? Use the feedback you received from your testing to improve it. Experiment with new materials, Bits, or spaces.
