Hummingbird Starter Flock with Rover Project Pack

This bundle pairs the Hummingbird Starter Flock with the Rover Project Pack -- the perfect set to launch a robotics course! No experience required. 

Build, code, and explore a robotic car using motors, wheels, servos, and sensors like distance and line tracking. The Rover project spans 5 class sessions. Disassemble the Rovers, then start your next standards-aligned Hummingbird project using craft supplies or recyclables. With included curriculum, teachers need no more than 2 hours to prepare to teach coding and robotics for the first time. These hands-on experiences inspire young innovators to think creatively and dream up their next invention!
