Hummingbird & Micro:bit
Hummingbird Kit is comprised of lights, sensors and motors which allows students to build a robot out of any material.
The BBC micro:bit is a handheld, programmable micro-computer that can be used for all sorts of cool creations, from robots to musical instruments – the possibilities are endless.
Students use Hummingbird and Micro:bit to unleash their creativity to craft robots and animate them using both block and text-based coding languages.
VEX:
Computer Science and robotics go hand in hand. In this session learners use VEXcode VR to code a virtual robot using a block based coding environment powered by Scratch Blocks or a text based coding powered by Python. Using VEXcode VR and engaging robotics-based activities, students will learn about project flow, loops, conditionals and algorithms.
VEXcode VR is based on VEXcode, the same coding environment used for VEX 123, GO, IQ and V5 robots.
