THE BIRDHOUSE

Teacher Highlight: Eric Fogle, Jump Scare Expert

March 8, 2022

Educator Eric Fogle has been using Hummingbird Robotics with his 600 middle school students for the last four years. He loves how the Hummingbird is both approachable for young students and challenging for more advanced learners with Python or Java text-based coding. “Once you can get the kits working, you’re only limited by your imagination on the final product!”

For Halloween 2021, Eric challenged his 600 students to create 195 Jump Scare robots over four class periods, using the Hummingbird Kit’s sensors, LEDs, and servos. Check out a few of the finished products in the video below! Then, find the details to haunt your own classroom on the Jump Scare Hummingbird Bit project page
