Creative Robotics Foundations

Our BirdBrain Hummingbird Bit Base Kit introduces students to hands-on STEM learning with a flexible, micro:bit-powered robotics system. Our STEM robot kit includes lights, sensors, and servos that let learners build and program robots using everyday materials, supporting both beginners and advanced coders through multiple programming languages.

Classroom Ready STEM Toolkit

This STEM robot building kit includes reusable parts for one robot, free classroom-tested learning materials, and safe, electrically protected connectors. This compatibility with computers, Chromebooks, and tablets makes it easy to use in both home and classroom environments.

Key features:

Flexible Robotics Kit: Our Hummingbird Bit Base Kit uses micro:bit to power lights, sensors, and FS90 servos, allowing students to build STEM robots from any materials. Ideal for STEM learning at home or in classrooms for kids 8+ years.

Engaging Learning Tool: This robotics kit offers a low-floor, high-ceiling approach: beginners can build and program a robot in minutes, while advanced learners explore engineering, robotics, and coding over time.

Comprehensive Components: Our DIY model kit includes a Bit Controller, terminal tool, battery pack, green, red, yellow, and tri-color LEDs, FS90 servos, light and dial sensors, servo extension cables, and a durable case everything needed for one fully functional robot.

Supports Coding Skills: This DIY kit works with block- and text-based programming languages, including BirdBlox, MakeCode, Snap!, Python, Java, Swift, and Kotlin. Students can safely control motors, LEDs, and sensors while developing coding skills.

Complete Educational Resources: Our DIY projects comes with classroom-tested tutorials, lesson plans, and online professional development resources. Electrically protected connectors ensure safe use, making it perfect for independent or guided STEM learning.
