Lights, motors, sensors, magic! Transform your classroom into a hub of creativity and innovation with the Hummingbird Classroom Solution. The beloved modular kit for safe and easy robotics and animatronics is now available in a full classroom solution for grades 4-12. This comprehensive package equips your classroom of 20-30 students with everything they need to dive into the world of robotics, engineering, and coding. Pairs of students start by building robots with the included project packs (3 projects for each pair of students - 15 classroom sessions of pre-designed content!).Teachers can then enhance any lesson with the robotics kits plus any craft/recycled materials. With cardboard and hot glue, the same reusable kit can animate a poem, model the human arm, build an autonomous rover, or create a pinball machine. The possibilities are limited only by imagination!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. The Hummingbird Classroom Solution serves 20-30 students with reusable parts to create robotic creations, store in-progress projects, and transport equipment. Full Solution Includes: 10 Premium Kits 10 Project Packs (30 Rover Packs, 30 Animatronic Packs, 30 Catapult Packs)10 Rechargeable Power Banks2 USB charging hubs - charge all 10 Power Banks at once10 Screwdrivers 5 Wire strippers1 Rolling Storage 2 Inflight Storage solutions (capacity for 10 built projects) Please note: Hummingbird Kits use micro:bits as a processor. You must have micro:bits in order to operate the kits. The Hummingbird Difference: 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 block-based and 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.Free online professional development, including classroom 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.
