robotics

An introduction to Makerspaces, and creating robots.

Describes various career options for people who create and/or work with robots, with an emphasis on how science, technology, engineering, art, and math are important in this type of work. Also outlines specific jobs available within the field, the many uses of robots, STEAM job facts, and more.

Teaches how to use LEGO Robotics to teach STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) education.

Presents a look at the life and career of robot designer Cynthia Breazeal, providing information on her childhood, her education, and her work creating lifelike machines that can respond to the world around them.

Describes the skills necessary to pursue a career as a remote systems control engineer, and examines the type of work they do.

Exploring the universe greatly depends on space robots. They go where astronauts cannot go and survive where astronauts cannot survive. Food, water, sleep, and oxygen are not required for them to function, and radiation exposure is not a concern. Young readers curious about space will gravitate toward this high-interest title.

The MQ-1 Predator drone served the U.S. military well for over two decades. The flying robot s early missions were surveillance and reconnaissance. But in time, the drone became armed with Hellfire missiles for attack missions. This STEM-aligned title shows interested readers robots that don t stay grounded.
