About
A comprehensive, beginner-friendly guide to building and programming LEGO robots.
You've just gotten a LEGO robotics kit. Now what? Getting Started with LEGO Robotics teaches you everything you need to know to go from beginner to proficient robotics engineer, using examples compatible with the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor and SPIKE Prime sets. You'll be making interactive games, competition-ready autonomous vehicles, and practical inventions like motorized grabbers and recycling sorters in no time.
Rather than feature step-by-step instructions for building a handful of models, you'll find basic information and expert tips and tricks for designing, building, and programming your own robotic creations. You'll explore programming with both Scratch-based word blocks and Python, and discover techniques for building sturdy structures, working with gears and motors, and using input from sensors. Loads of challenges and open-ended projects will inspire you to try out what you've learned. Barbara Bratzel is a K-8 STEM teacher who consults at the Center for Engineering and Education Outreach at Tufts University. She has been a keynote speaker and workshop leader at LEGO robotics educational conferences around the world, and she's the author of several robotics books for teachers, including Makerspace LEGO (College House Books).
