Looking to increase your rapid prototyping skills? Stop by the Penn State Harrisburg Library circulation desk to check out the littleBits Workshop Kits. These circulating kits were purchased by the Harrisburg Student Activity Fee and are available for checkout by ANY Penn State Harrisburg student.

LittleBits are magnetic “Bits” snap together to turn ideas into inventions, transforming the way students learn so they can grow up to be tomorrow’s changemakers -- no matter their age, gender, race, nationality, or ability.
