Hummingbird Robotics Kit
The Hummingbird Robotics Kit is an easy-to-use, creative robotics tool which allows students to design, build, and program a personally meaningful robot out of any materials, with any device, in multiple programming languages.
The Hummingbird Robotics Kit is comprised of lights, sensors, and motors which allow students to build a robot out of any materials. The power of Hummingbird is in its flexibility—the same reusable kit can animate a poem, model the human arm, build an autonomous rover, or create a pinball machine. Hummingbird epitomizes a low-floor, high-ceiling approach: absolute beginners can build & program a robot in minutes, but continue learning advanced engineering and programming for years.
All Hummingbird Bit Robotics Kits work with the following programming languages:
-
BirdBlox (block-based - available on iOS, Android, Fire OS)
-
MakeCode (block-based - available on Chromebooks, Mac, Windows, Linux)
-
Snap! (block-based - available on Chromebooks, Mac, Windows)
