• Why it is cool: It helps keep your house clean without anyone pushing

                       it.

                 2. Lego Robots

                        •  What it  does:  Kids  can  build  robots

                       using  Lego blocks.  Some  Lego robots
                       can move, make sounds, and even pick

                       things up.

                        •  How it works: You can program (give

                       instructions to) the Lego robot to do
                       certain  tasks, like move  forward  or

                       pick up small objects.

                        •  Why it is cool: You get to be a robot designer, making your very own
                       machine.


                 3. Self-Driving Cars

                        •  What it does: These cars can drive by themselves without a person

                       controlling them.

                        • How it works: The car uses cameras and sensors to “see” the road
                       and other cars. It “thinks” about where to go, and then its “acts” by

                       steering and moving on its own.

                        • Why it is cool: It is like a robot that takes you where you need to go.






















                 4. Robot Arm

                        • What it does: This robot arm can pick up things, move them, and put
                       them down.
