Who this kids robot journal is for
This journal is for young engineers who dream of building robots, whether from cardboard and recycled materials or with robot kits and simple coding. It suits children aged about seven to fourteen, STEM clubs, makerspaces and homeschool engineering projects. Designing a robot teaches problem solving, planning and persistence, because real engineers sketch, build, test and improve over and over, and every attempt teaches something new.
How to use your kids robot journal
Sketch your robot on the design page, labeling arms, sensors, wheels and what it can do. List the materials or kit pieces you need on the parts page. Plan simple instructions or code on the code page, even if it is just a sequence of steps. Record each build session and test on the build page, noting what worked and what to fix. Collect future robot ideas, from helper bots to dancing robots, on the ideas page.
