The purpose of the Little Big Virtual Academy is to keep Littles and Bigs connected during times of physically distancing. When matches might not be able meet in-person, they can continue to communicate and interact via phone and computer. The Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Iowa team has compiled a list of fun and interactive activities and resources for Littles and Bigs to do together- check them out below!

STEM Activity Kits:
We have exciting STEM activity kits available for you and your Little:
-Hover Racer- Watch your Hover Racer skim smoothly across the floor supported on its cushion of air. Learn the science facts behind the hovercraft.
-Table Top Robot- Assemble a smart robotic crab which can detect the edges of any platform and make swift turns to avoid falling off.
-Motorized Robot Hand- Compose a rhythm and program this robot hand to play it for you.

Have fun while building your kit together virtually or in-person. If interested, please email Tony at [email protected] for your kit.
Please include which kit you are interested in.
