Hummingbird Bit Base Kit

Please note that the Hummingbird Bit uses micro:bit as its processor; you must have a micro:bit in order to operate the robot.  Inspire deep and joyful learning with the micro:bit-powered Hummingbird Bit Robotics Kit! 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 & programming for years. All Hummingbird Bit Robotics Kits include: Free classroom-tested and standards-aligned learning materials, such as programming tutorials, lesson plans, and printable student activities. Out-of-the-box compatibility with all laptops and most tablets. Free software that is tested to work with school IT environments. Support for 4 block-based and 3 text-based programming environments, including Makecode, Python, and Java. Electrically protected connectors that allow students to easily add multiple motors, sensors, and LEDs without risk of harm due to incorrect connections. Options for online and in-person professional development, including classroom and school district curriculum integration planning. Classroom-ready packaging, including sturdy cases, sorting compartments, and stackable containers. Products that have been created and validated by National Science Foundation-funded research at Carnegie Mellon University and tested in classrooms with teachers and students.
