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 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.

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)
