Code your creation to move, light up and make sound!
Grades 7-12
Use this kit to focus on engineering and robotics using an Arduino circuit board to make robots, kinetic sculptures, and animatronics.
Curriculum Integration Planning Tool
Hummingbird Bit and Duo Projects:
Moving Masterpieces - recreate a masterpiece as a 3-dimensional form
Robot Shakespeare - create a robot diorama based on a passage from Shakespeare
Human Body Systems - use the kit to bring the human body to life
Mythical Monster Mashup - use the Hummingbird kit to create robotic versions of monsters from Greek and Roman literature.
Innovative Designer
Students use a variety of technologies with a design process to identify and solve problems by creating new, useful or imaginative solutioSTudents ns.
Students:
Students know and use a deliberate design process for generating ideas, testing theories, creating innovative artifacts or solving authentic problems.
Students select and use digital tools to plan and manage a design process that considers design constraints and calculated risks.
Students develop, test and refine prototypes as part of a cyclical design process.
Students exhibit a tolerance for ambiguity, perseverance and the capacity to work with open-ended problems.
Computational Thinker
Students develop and employ strategies for understanding and solving problems in a ways that leverage the power of technological methods to develop and test solutions.
Students:
Formulate problem definitions suited for technology-assisted methods such as data analysis, abstract models and algorithmic thinking in exploring and finding solutions.
Collect data or identify relevant data sets, use digital tools to analyze them, and represent data in various ways to facilitate problem-solving and decision-making.
Break problems into component parts, extract key information, and develop descriptive models to understand complex systems or facilitate problem-solving.
Understand how automation works and use algorithmic thinking to develop a sequence of steps to create and test automated solutions.
