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 10 and up that involve the making
of robots, kinetic sculptures, and animatronics built out of a combination of
kit parts and crafting materials.
Combined with a cross-platform, very
easy-to-use visual programming environment, Hummingbird provides a great way to
introduce kids to robotics and engineering with construction materials that
they are already familiar with. The Hummingbird kit contains a large number of
sensors, lights, and motors compared to similarly priced kits.
