Get to Know:

The Hummingbird Bit Base Kit is appropriate for 1-4 kids to use at the same time. It's available with a micro:bit V2 and cable included or you can get the Hummingbird Bit Base Kit solo if you already have micro:bit boards. Inspire deep and joyful learning with the Hummingbird Bit Robotics Kit!

The power of the Hummingbird system lies in its flexibility—the same parts enable kits to animate a poem, model the human arm, build an autonomous rover, or create a pinball machine. The Hummingbird Bit is designed to grow with kids (and adults) who may start out as absolute beginners, and to allow them to go deep in many different ways—by creating beautiful electronic art, intricate cardboard mechatronics, or cleverly programmed robotic behaviors.
