Inventing a modular future, one bit at a time

by Studio 61


W

e are all passionate consumers of technology, but how many of us have the expertise to build it? We might have a brilliant idea for an invention, but how many of us would even know where to start? LittleBits, a startup in New York, is hoping we’ll find answers in tiny magnetic blocks. They’ve engineered a modular system that, much like the Moto Z, snaps together in seconds to transform into a new gadget. It’s redefining how kids learn, and how those of us without engineering skills prototype hardware.

The ever-curious Andrew Evans met with the engineers and designers at littleBits, to learn more about their modular approach to design and creative problem-solving.
