About: LittleBits

An Entity of Type: agent, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

littleBits is a New York City-based startup that makes an open source library of modular electronics (open-source electronics), which snap together with small magnets for prototyping and learning. The company's goal is to democratize hardware the way software and printing have been democratized. The littleBits mission is to "put the power of electronics in the hands of everyone, and to break down complex technologies so that anyone can build, prototype, and invent." littleBits units are available in more than 70 countries and used in more than 2,000 schools. The company was named to CNN's 10 Startups to Watch for 2013.

dbo:abstract
  • littleBits is a New York City-based startup that makes an open source library of modular electronics (open-source electronics), which snap together with small magnets for prototyping and learning. The company's goal is to democratize hardware the way software and printing have been democratized.

  • littleBits è una libreria hardware open source costituita da singoli componenti elettronici discreti preassemblati su piccole basette di circuiti stampati. Ciascuna basetta racchiude un "modulo" del sistema, dotato di una specifica funzione, che può essere interconnesso fisicamente ed elettricamente con altri moduli, con un intuitivo aggancio magnetico. L'interconnessione permette di far interagire i moduli tra loro nella maniera voluta, in modo da comporre oggetti più complessi, secondo una filosofia costruttiva ispirata ai principi di modularità che stanno alla base dei sistemi LEGO. Altri moduli, invece, permettono l'interazione con l'ambiente esterno. (it)
