WHAT:

The littleBits Store is a lab for inventions, large and small, and
like the company, is on a mission to empower everyone to unleash
their creativity.
The store is targeted towards families, educators and creative
professionals and promises to take visitors on a journey of
invention through a series of interactive experiences including:
? Get inspired: Warm-up with the musical twister wall, a
new take on and homage to the iconic (and sadly gone) FAO Schwarz
giant piano.
? Create inventions: Take a seat at one of the workshop
tables in the lab and create your own invention such as a Keytar
(a synth guitar), a BitBot car, a self-powered drawing machine or
anything from your imagination.
? Create inventions: Take a seat at one of the workshop
tables in the lab and create your own invention such as a Keytar
(a synth guitar), a BitBot car, a self-powered drawing machine or
anything from your imagination.
? Share creations: Step into the Get Snapped Photo Booth to
share your invention with the world, inspire others in the
community, and see how everyone is an inventor.

The littleBits Store is pioneering a new concept in tech retail:
Inventions To Stay and Inventions To Go. Visitors who participate
in the workshop tables are able to leave their inventions for
others to remix, encouraging open source collaboration, or buy
what they invented on the spot, thus putting into action
littleBits' agenda of breaking down the boundaries between the
technology we consume and the technology we invent. The littleBits
Store will be open M-F, 11:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m., and Sat & Sun,
10:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.
