They fix spacecraft, dance, tell jokes, and even clean your carpet! From the tiniest robo-bees to gigantic factory machines, robotics is all around you. This technology isn't just for science-fiction anymore -- it's real and more relevant than ever. With stunning visuals and energetic, impactful design, readers won't stop until they've learned everything there is to know about robotics.
Jennifer Swanson is a life-long LEGO bricks enthusiast. After all, what better way to learn engineering and design than by building it yourself? She even asked for—and to the delight of her and her new husband— received a LEGO set as a wedding gift! Jennifer not only grew up in a house filled with LEGO bricks, but raised three children who loved them as well. An award-winning author of multiple STEM books for kids, she is thrilled to be writing this book, which combines her love of LEGO bricks with the science of the world around her.

Consultant:
David Holmes is a geography consultant who lives in South West England. He is an ex-teacher, best-selling GCSE and GCE Geography author, and Senior Examiner—with a keen interest in technology, data, as well as fieldwork. He is a LEGO fan and reckons he can build anything that is in this book (if he can get his hands on enough LEGO bricks!). View titles by Jennifer Swanson
