Uncrate: In a partnership with Korg sure to please electronics tinkerers and synth musicians alike, LittleBits ($100 and up) is the perfect combination of DIY circuit-board construction and musical exploration. Each kit — whether you choose the base kit, the premium kit, or the deluxe kit — requires no soldering or programming, all you need to do is plug your circuits together, add found materials, and start playing.

This looks really cool! I like that it doesn't require a specific skill set to put together, because that makes it accessible to everyone. Kits that require soldering or the like are a bit unavailable to those who don't know how to solder or don't have the means to. I would be very interested to see what people have created using this kit or other kits that may be like it. I also enjoy that the design is not marketed to a specific age bracket. It seems to be something that, in appearance at least, could be enjoyed by a wide variety of people. Overall, it seems to be something I would definitely be interested in trying. It is not only a cool concept, but it is intelligently marketed as well.
This is super cool! I think this is a great way to understand what you're using too. I love geeky toys like this. If I were to get it, I would probably make the keytar! I think it's really cute and you can use it to create so many things! I think it's a great way to get people to get creative and learn to make their own things. It's a really good concept!
This is Lego for electronics. Its a brilliant way to teach kids how electronics works (logic, power, etc) without going too far into the theory of why.
This would also be a great model for a theatrical automation system. No soldering or programming, each component does a specific task and you plug them all together and it works.You couldn’t do the most complex things, but you could get stuff done easily and efficiently.
