As such I was excited to see their new Kickstarter called CrowBits. These are magnetic, programmable, electronic blocks that are also LEGO element compatible, which as you likely know, is a huge plus for my family. I’ve blogged a lot about STEM toys before, usually at Christmas, but this is a lovely spring surprise! The devices are ESP32, Arduino and Micro:bit compatible, and there’s over 80 of them. 30 of them need no programming. The whole system has a Scratch 3.0 software sitting on top, so my kids and I are already familiar with how to program these. If you’re not familiar, MIT’s Scratch is a visual block language that abstracts away the text aspects of programming for visually nested blocks. It’s very intuitive. ![]() Since the people at Elecrow have successfully delivered on all their previous KickStarters and I’m personally holding both CrowPis from those Kickstarters, I have high confidence in their ability to deliver the CrowBits. ![]() Even better, I’m seeing in the comments on the Kickstarter that the company is aiming to allow their programming system to run on the Raspberry Pi CrowPi devices I already own, so that’s a bonus that it’ll all work together.
