• Contains LEDs, extension cables, a light- and dial sensor

Inspire deep and joyful learning with the new micro:bit-powered Hummingbird Bit Robotics Kit! The Hummingbird Bit Base 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 exemplifies a low-floor, high-ceiling approach: absolute beginners can build and program a robot in minutes but continue learning 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 blocks-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.
