BirdBrain Hummingbird Classroom with Microbit

Description

This modular kit offers safe and easy robotics and animatronics for grades 4-12. This kit provides everything needed for 20-30 students to learn about robotics, engineering, and coding.

Pairs of students start by building robots with the included project packs. Teachers can then enhance any lesson with the robotics kits plus any craft/recycled materials. Keep materials organized and easily accessible with the included storage solution for in-progress projects. When a unit is complete, transport your robotics program with ease. Keep materials charged and ready with rechargeable power banks, eliminating the need for AA batteries. Recharge power banks quickly and safely with 2 USB charging hubs.

• Free classroom-tested and standards-aligned learning materials, such as programming tutorials, lesson plans, and printable student activities.
• 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.
• Free online PD, including classroom curriculum integration planning.
• 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.
• Electrically protected connectors that allow students to easily add multiple motors, sensors, and LEDs without risk of harm due to incorrect connections.
• Classroom-ready packaging, including sturdy cases, sorting compartments, and stackable containers.
