If you’re looking for ways to bring coding and robotics into your classroom — whether you teach kindergarten or high school — you’re in the right place. At BirdBrain Technologies, we believe STEM and computer science education should be engaging, creative, and accessible for every student. That’s why we’ve designed tools that meet learners where they are and grow alongside them.
With flexible hardware, supplemental curriculum, and support that makes implementation easy, BirdBrain makes it possible to teach essential 21st-century skills across all grade levels — and in every subject area.
Tools That Grow With Your Students
One of the best parts of teaching with BirdBrain tools is how easily they scale. Our Finch Robot and Hummingbird Robotics Kit support beginner-friendly programming languages like MakeCode and Snap!, as well as more advanced languages like Python and Java. Whether you’re introducing loops for the first time or tackling AI image recognition, BirdBrain provides the curriculum and training you need to differentiate and scaffold learning.
Take a look at how the same project idea — like drawing shapes with a robot — can evolve across grade levels:
Drawing Shapes with the Finch
- Elementary: Students program the Finch to draw basic shapes like squares and rectangles.
- Middle School: Students create regular polygons and explore area using geometry concepts.
- High School: Students write programs that take input from the user to draw custom shapes based on calculated angles and side lengths.
Animating Characters with Hummingbird
- Elementary: Students animate a favorite book character using simple movement.
- Middle School: Characters become interactive, responding to sensors and simulating decision-making.
- High School: Students integrate AI to trigger character actions based on real-time image recognition.
Cross-Curricular? Absolutely.
You don’t have to be a computer science teacher to use BirdBrain tools. In fact, our robots fit into a wide range of subjects. Want to animate a poem? Explore natural selection? Create music-based choreography or build a model of the solar system? Finch and Hummingbird can do it all.
Here’s how teachers across subjects are using BirdBrain:
