Hummingbird Bit Premium Kit
from $377.38 ex GST
Inspire deep and joyful learning with the micro:bit-powered Hummingbird Bit Premium Kit! The Hummingbird Robotics Kit is comprised of lights, sensors, and motors which allow students to build a robot out of any materials. The power of Hummingbird is in its flexibility - the same reusable kit can animate a poem, model the human arm, build an autonomous rover, or create a pinball machine.
Hummingbird epitomises a low-floor, high-ceiling approach: absolute beginners can build & program a robot in minutes, but continue learning advanced engineering & programming for years.

Hover:bit for micro:bit
$206.10 ex GST
Hover:bit is a hovercraft kit for the BBC micro:bit which you build, code and then drift drive.
Note: micro:bits are not included in this kit.
Hover:Bit combines the micro:bits ease of use with the excitement of a drift driving Hovercraft! It is the world's first ever developed micro:bit hovercraft, combining the relevant skills for mastering the future of technology. It is a STEAM learning kit, which will engage students with a more practical and creative way of learning.
It is fully repairable and withstands a lot of crashes.
Hover:bit-build, code and hover awayHover:bit is an air pillow vessel hovering above the ground. A cloud engine with great force ensures the progress and a servo managed tail fin controls the direction. A micro:bit used as a remote and another on the receiving end.
Construction and DesignUse the packaging as a fleet and seal or clip out your own in cardboard. Experiments with different shapes and materials and find out what works best.
Code with make:codeStill, more people discover micro:bit like a very simple platform with great opportunity space. Hover:bit offers programming guidance for remote control and receiver.
Driven driving experience with gyrochondrial control.Because the vessel floats freely, the driving style becomes more like drifting than usual driving. A lightning-fast gyrossor corrects the halerret automatically and the result is an incredibly fun driving experience. Look at it as some kind of anti-spin on smooth lead.

littleBits micro:bit Adapter
$40.86 ex GST
Take learning & inventing further with the littleBits micro:bit Adapter
The littleBits micro:bit Adapter connects micro:bit and littleBits enabling new learning experiences and creative inventions in a less-intimidating way.
Enhance your learning with micro:bit by adding coding to your littleBits using platforms like the free Microsoft MakeCode or Python editor. It works by connecting the signals from the littleBits input and output bitsnaps to pins on the micro:bit edge connectors. No special coding libraries are needed.
* micro:bit is required for use & sold separately
Coding Capabilities
Microsoft MakeCode
Microsoft MakeCode is a free, open source platform for creating engaging computer science learning experiences that support a progression path into real-world programming.
Students new to coding can start with coloured blocks that they can drag and drop onto their workspace to construct their programs.
Python Editor for micro:bit
micro:bit Python editor is designed with teachers and learners in mind: you can easily enlarge the text size for sharing on a large screen or whiteboard, download projects as Python text files or .HEX files ready to flash onto a micro:bit. It also works with micro:bit classroom.
Featured Activities
