Hummingbird Starter Flock

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. The Hummingbird Classroom Flock includes: 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 block-based and 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.
