Description
The LEGO Boost is an introductory robotics product that introduces young kids to robotics and programming. With this guide, readers will learn the ins-and-outs of building and programming robots, including fun stuff like using sensors to trigger events which react to light and colour, building a tool that allows their creation to lift and move objects, and how to shoot darts at a target! After learning the basics, readers will build a Brick-Sorting Bird and program it to sort LEGO bricks by colour, a turtle that walks, and a machine that draws and writes on paper using a pen.

"It is hard to believe there is so much stuff in this one book, but there is. One way that happens is the subtle but measurable increase in format for this volume compared to other coding and STEM books by this and other publishers."-Greg Laden
"This book is the perfect way get more from LEGO BOOST Creative Toolbox."
