The Hummingbird Robotics Kit is a classroom-ready platform that empowers students to design, build, and code interactive robotic creations. By combining sensors, LEDs, and servos with block or text-based programming, students turn their ideas into working, physical projects. Below are eight examples that show how the Hummingbird kit supports meaningful, hands-on STEM learning.
Pinball Game
Explore physics concepts like force and angles by building a pinball game. Design flippers and bumpers using servos, sensors, and code to control interactions. Discover how engineering and physics work together to create fast-moving game.
Rolling Rover
Build and program a rolling rover using rotation servos and craft materials. Experiment with speed, turning, and optional sensors that detect obstacles or follow paths. This project explores motion, control, and problem-solving through robotics.
Interactive Game
Design and build a mini-golf obstacle or interactive game using the Hummingbird Robotics Kit. Combine craft materials with sensors, servos, and LEDs. This project blends engineering, creativity, and problem-solving as students prototype and test real robotic mechanisms.
Moving Book Cover
Bring a book cover or story scene to life with the Hummingbird Robotics Kit by animating characters and objects using craft materials, servos, LEDs, and code. This project merges art, storytelling, and engineering, turning creative ideas into interactive robotic designs.
Catapult Project
Make a motorized catapult using the Hummingbird Robotics Kit, experimenting with how motion, force, and angle affect a projectile. By coding a servo-powered launch mechanism and testing different designs, you can explore real engineering principles.
Mechanisms
Learn how to build simple mechanisms like linkages, cams, cranks, levers and more. Everyday craft materials can become working robotic components powered by servos and motors. It’s a perfect resource for adding motion to any STEM project.
Animatronic Anatomy
Create Animatronic Anatomy with the Hummingbird Robotics Kit by building and programming a moving model of an arm, leg, or body part. Use servos and sensors to mimic muscles and joints, making it easier to visualize how the body moves.
Robotic Hand
Create a robotic hand using craft materials and the Hummingbird Robotics Kit. Program servos to pull each “tendon,” making the hand move like real muscles. This project blends engineering and biology, helping teach motion through a working robotic model.
