BirdBrain

We have two types BirdBrain robots at Yealey -- Finch and Hummingbird. These are a bit trickier than the other robots we have at Yealey, so they are currently only available to 4th and 5th graders.

You will want to use this website for your coding. I would recommend you bookmark it.

Finch Badges

Finch 1: Code your Finch to go through one of the mazes without touching it. I would like to see some lights and hear some sound on the journey.
Finch 2: You have to code your Finch to draw an equilateral triangle and an equilateral pentagon.
Finch 3: You have to code your Finch to draw beautiful artwork similar to the one below.
Finch 4: Finch + Makey Makey = Badge 4! Your creation should include various movements, sounds, and lights.

Hummingbird Badges

Hummingbird 1: Show me how to use Servos and LEDs. This will include connecting them, coding them to work properly, and cleaning them up.
Hummingbird 2: Show me how to use Tri-Colors and Sensors. This will include connecting them, coding them to work properly, and cleaning them up.
Hummingbird 3: Check out these projects. You aren't doing those projects. You're just using them to get your creative juices flowing. You will earn the Hummingbird 3 Badge by creating YOUR OWN amazing project. Be creative.
Hummingbird 4: Now code your project so it can be used with a Makey Makey.
