This is the 1st lesson of the year I do in 4th grade in our Innovation Lab. It combines design thinking, the 4 Cs, 3D design on Tinkercad and 3D printing. They will use this knowledge later when they learn about augmented and virtual reality and build the California Missions through CoSpaces.

Do you use littleBits in your STEAM program? They are such a perfect addition to our Makerspace for students to use in their prototyping. They also tie in perfectly to the 4th grade NGSS standards! In this lesson, students learn about electrical engineering basics, real-world application, then use them to help solve a real-world problem. Read below and click on the links for the lessons and resources. Warning: These little electrical engineering modules are fragile! Lots of care needed when an entire grade level comes through using them.
