New Little Bits Set

Our class (The Gagner Gang) will be getting a new Little Bits. We think that the Little Bits will be here on Thursday 4/02/2015. The Little Bits we are buying with the money from our dance in all the Little Bits cost $250. We bought a little bits set. This set can turn on the lights, the computers and make coffee, you do all this with one touch of a button.

Our Mission

OUR MISSION 

Our mission here in the tech group is to make a how to guide for every technical thing in our classroom 110 Mrs. Gagner's class. We already have a how guide for Makey Makey and Little Bits. What we do is play around with the technical stuff and make a how to guide for our class mates and other people who visit our blog.

Quincy,Stang and Tyler work on the MaKey MaKey awhile back and we made a show me about how to play mine craft and at the end the basics of the MaKey MaKey. Here it is http://www.showme.com/sh/?h=VtQHGqm

How to-Little Bits

Little Bits

Blue outline = power (attaches to battery.)

Pink outline = on and off buttons and sensors.

Orange outline = wires.

Green outline = lights, motors and speakers.

Purple outline = tools.

Step 1: Take the pieces out of the box

Step 2: Connect the blue piece to the battery and switch on the power

Step 3: You can use the pink piece to control how you turn the green piece on and off.  Connect it to the blue piece-it’s magnetic on one side.              

Step 4: After the pink piece you can use a wire if you want to connect an orange piece ( wires ) so you can connect allot of pieces. ( this piece is optional. )

Step 5: Finally, you can attach a green piece.  This is the piece that everything else is powering.

Extra: There are tools that you need for some projects!  (talk to us about that after you master the “basics” and if you are interested.)

If you are still confused then you can talk to Grace, Sierra, Tyler, Stang or Quincy.

Printer

Printer

About a week a go we got a broken printer from Lorn Parren . The first day Quincy and I staid in for lunch to work on the printer. At the end of lunch we figured out the problem. It was that the ink wasn't coming out of the. At genius hour we unplugged the ink so that the ink would flow, we tested it a out and it was like brand new. Now the printer is ours.
