littleBits

littleBits is a revolutionary education-focused startup, founded in 2011 by engineer and interactive artist Ayah Bdeir. The company, headquartered in the United States, is powered by Sphero and aims to inspire learners of all ages to transform their ideas into inventions using electronic blocks, or "Bits," that snap together magnetically.

With a strong emphasis on diversity and inclusion, littleBits has successfully engaged almost 40% girls, four times the industry average, in using their kits. The company has received numerous awards and accolades in the tech, education, and toy sectors, including The Toy Association’s 2018 Creative Toy of the Year, demonstrating its impact and innovation in the industry.

As a leader in the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) space, littleBits has gained significant traction, selling millions of kits in over 70 countries. Their last investment, a Venture - Series Unknown round, was secured on 24 July 2018, showcasing sustained investor interest and confidence in the company's vision and growth potential.
