Hummingbird Robotics Kit Students Projects
The Hummingbird Robotics Kit has empowered our students to explore creativity, coding, and hands-on engineering. Through guided lessons and independent exploration, learners built exciting projects that combined electronics, sensors, and programming.
| Project Title | Description | |
| Smart Bin that Opens Automatically | A bin that uses sensors to detect motion and open its lid automatically. | |
| Obstacle-Avoiding Robot | A robot programmed with sensors to detect and avoid obstacles while moving. | |
| Automated Traffic Light System | A model traffic system using LEDs and sensors to control light sequences. | |
| Light-Sensitive Streetlamp | A streetlamp that automatically turns on in darkness and off in daylight. |
