The Drake House in Atlanta explores the Hummingbird Robotics Kit
The Drake House in Atlanta recently sponsored a
series of events introducing robotics to teens who are housed in a short term
crisis housing shelter.
A makerspace studio was set up using BirdBrain Technologies’ Hummingbird Robotics KITs. This was a great opportunity
to engineer, craft and program robots for the first time.
The teens were amazing! In less than two
hours they were programming LED’s, servos and sensors using craft and recycled
materials. It was truly a rewarding experience
to give these courageous youths an opportunity to build confidence and learn
new skills.
