(1888PressRelease) November 10, 2016 - Houston, TX - PledgeCents, Inc., is on a mission to make education technology more accessible for teachers and schools, while helping ensure that more of donors' money can be put to work rather than be spent on fundraising costs. The site, which aims to bring resources and opportunities to students across the country by alleviating funding needs, recently launched its Preferred Partner Program to better collaborate with education companies to make this idea a reality. The most recent partner is award-winning littleBits, the easy-to-use platform of electronic building blocks that empowers everyone to create inventions.

"What's most exciting to us about this partnership," said Ricky Johnson, co-founder and CFO, "is that we are able to further connect classrooms with the companies behind the products. We've seen dozens of teachers around the country come to PledgeCents for littleBits and through this partnership, we will be able to helps thousands more that are still hoping to bring littleBits to their students. We are always looking for ways to better serve our schools and partners like littleBits are helping us do that."

Through the partnership, teachers and schools will be able to utilize PledgeCents to seamlessly generate a fundraising page to cover the cost of the litteBits inventions their students need. The PledgeCents team works with each fundraiser to help raise the necessary funds and will purchase the products needed immediately after the fundraiser ends to expedite the process. Anyone interested can visit www.pledgecents.com/signup/events/littleBits to create their own page today.

littleBits is already meeting the needs of classrooms across the world as evidenced by the more than 14,500 educators already using littleBits. The toolboxes featured on PledgeCents, the STEAM Student Set and the Gizmos & Gadgets Kit, 2nd Edition, not only engage students by tapping into their love of curiosity and games, but also directly address areas of increased focus for many educators and parents such as science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics.
