Blog 2 Hummingbird Robotics - Carrie Maloziec



Hummingbird Robotics Kit         
Arts, Crafts, Robots!
The Hummingbird Robotics Kit is a spin-off product of Carnegie Mellon's CREATE lab. Hummingbird is designed to enable engineering and robotics activities for ages 13 and up (8 with adult supervision) that involve the making of robots, kinetic sculptures, and animatronics built out of a combination of kit parts and crafting materials. This kit helps student with all aspects of creating a robot. The website has a lot of pictures of different designed robots. The kit comes with instructions that are easy to use software for programming. Hummingbird provides a great way to introduce kids to robotics and engineering with construction materials that they are already familiar with. At the same time, Hummingbird continues to provide new challenges by allowing programming in the Arduino environment, Python, Java, and Processing, and by supporting Raspberry Pi.
