A SIMPLE START

Print it and begin.

Start with the robot on the page and decide who it becomes. Add buttons, wires, colors, and a face, then give it a name, a job, a power source, a special ability, and something it always says. The best follow-up question is simple: what problem does your robot solve?

GROWN-UP TIP
