START A BITAbout
START A BIT is a small learning group in Gothenburg. An embedded software engineer started it in 2023 with a few friends from education and engineering.
Why the name START A BIT?
A bit is the smallest unit of information in a computer. Complex systems, from phones to self-driving cars, are all built from simple parts like bits.
Learning works the same way. Start small, take one real step at a time, and understanding and confidence grow from there.
START A BIT is that first step: a place to try, build and find out, long before technology becomes a school subject. Start a bit today, and grow into something bigger tomorrow.
What matters to us
We learn by doing: we plan, build, test and fix. Curiosity, confidence and working well together matter more than any one programming language or device.
