This book begins with a general introduction to robotics answering the question, What is and isn’t considered a robot? There are instructions about using caution and safety while creating the robotic projects, lists of common tools and materials that will be needed, and common places online where parts and supplies can be bought.

The first projects are simple, building a circuit with a battery, and creating a nightlight that looks like a mini robot. Then each chapter is divided by Robots for Entertainment, Robots in Space, Robots on the Job, and Robots in the Operating Room. In these chapters, the reader can build a small magnetic motor, a solar-powered dancing robot, a solar-powered propeller, and a dozen other projects!

Each projects has a “STEAM Connection” addition that shows how math, science, engineering, and even art were used to create the project.

This book is so interesting! I never knew that so much went into creating even the simplest little gadgets. But it’s still accessible and easy enough for children to follow the steps and create fun contraptions.
