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

Design, code, and launch balls with a catapult, using servos and sensors to explore math and physics concepts. Build and code over 5 class sessions. Disassemble the Catapult Project, 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!
