<\/div>\n
I’m helping littleBits<\/a> hire their first Community Manager, and since they have a community of makers\/creatives\/hackers\/kids, I thought the ITP community would be a great place to find the right person.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
They’re a very cool company started by an MIT Media Lab grad\/former Eyebeam fellow, Ayah Bdeir, and basically like a “next-generation Lego,”<\/a> according to that CNN feature (which aired on Sunday afternoon). They sell kits of opensource electronic modules that snap together with magnets and can do basically anything: sound, light, motion, etc. Adults and kids alike can then build something off of them, and even request a specific kind of component they want littleBits to make. They were recently added into the permanent collection of MoMA and are working on some really interesting partnerships and getting a manufacturer so they can meet the demand for their kits.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I’m helping them out because Ayah is building something amazing (she’s awesome) and I think this would be a really fun challenge for a community person who loves to makes things\/understands people who makes things.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
(They’re hiring<\/a> for a few other roles now as well.)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Please pass this on and have anyone who applies cc: me with their statement of interest and resume.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thanks and hope you’re having a great summer!<\/div>\n
