Description
Do you want to know a secret? Sometimes grown-ups need YOU to explain things to THEM. Like robotics!
In this tongue-in-cheek guide, an in-the-know narrator instructs kid readers in the fine art of explaining robotics to a grown-up. Both children and their adults learn:
- what makes a robot a robot,
- who designs and builds robots,
- and how robots work on their own to get a job done.
Fun and fact-filled, the How to Explain Science series will empower kid experts to explore complex scientific concepts with any grown-up who will listen.

What a great book! Kids can learn about robotics and how to explain the concepts to others, including their grownups. Robotics is an important current topic and one that kids can benefit from learning about early. This picture book shows different ways people can be involved in working in the field. I highly recommend this for young readers so they can learn about robotics and so they can learn to feel confident explaining what they know. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this
An approachable title for kids empowering them to share their knowledge about robotics. I liked the repetitive nature of the three things needed to make something a robot, which made this book very educational with a key takeaway.
How to Explain Robotics to a Grown-Up is a cute resource for introductory robotics. Under the guise of "teaching the adults" this book explains what robots are, parts of a robot (sensor, microcontroller, circuits, actuator, end effector, and power supply), and the robotic process (sense, compute, act). There is also a helpful glossary at the end of the book. The information inside is great for giving students a very simplistic introduction to robotics.
As a STEAM teacher, this will be a great book to include in my classroom.
