Ignite Imagination with Interactive STEM Storytelling

Transform your classroom into a creative tech studio with the Animatronics Project Pack—a hands-on bundle designed to blend robotics, storytelling, and coding in one engaging unit. This set of five complete kits empowers students to build moving characters and interactive scenes powered by Hummingbird Bit controllers.

Each team begins by assembling wooden character frames with servo-driven limbs, integrated with LEDs and sound sensors. Through building, students explore mechanical movement, synchronization, and design principles. As they bring their designs to life, learners program motion sequences—like waving arms or nodding heads—enhancing fluency in code syntax, loops, and timing.

Next, teams script interactive behaviors: lights that glow in response to sound, motors that react to proximity, or servo patterns that align with dramatic beats. The result? Students experience the power of computational storytelling in an unforgettable way. This multi-modal experience connects ELA and engineering standards—encouraging narrative planning, audience awareness, and creative iteration.

The structured five-session curriculum includes clear pacing guides, storyboard templates, and lesson materials aligned with NGSS, CSTA, and ISTE standards. It supports both beginner coders and advanced creators, all while promoting collaboration, iteration, and problem-solving.

At the end of the unit, students showcase animatronic scenes—an interactive poem, a science concept, or a historical event—bringing multidisciplinary learning into vivid motion. It’s the perfect mix of art and engineering, giving students a creative outlet to express identity, voice, and technical skill.

Hummingbird Premium Kit required and sold separately.

Build and code one of the projects over 5 class sessions. Disassemble it and then start the next project, building skills and confidence as you go. Each Project Pack offers about 5 class sessions of hands-on learning.

Mix engineering, creativity, and narrative in one powerful STEAM unit—bring STEM to life with the Animatronics Project Pack!
