Robotics is one of the most exciting ways to introduce students to coding, engineering, and creative problem-solving. The Hummingbird Robotics Kitmakes this process even more accessible by allowing students to build and program their own robots using Python
Why Hummingbird?
Hummingbird stands out because of its modular design, making it perfect for beginners while still offering depth for more advanced learners. With a mix of LEDs, sensors, motors, and servos, students can create anything from simple light-up displays to interactive robotic creatures.
Why Python?
Python is a powerful yet beginner-friendly language. It allows students to quickly grasp programming concepts without getting bogged down by complex syntax. Plus, its real-world applications in AI, data science, and automation make it a valuable skill to learn.
Here's some example code:
from BirdBrain import Hummingbird
bird = Hummingbird()
bird.setLED(1, 100) # Turn on LED at full brightness
bird.setServo(1, 90) # Move servo to 90 degrees
bird.stopAll()
