AlphaBot
AlphaBot by Vicky Fang is an interactive flipbook that introduces the fundamental concepts of coding, robotics, and the engineering design process. Children can enjoy an immersive learning experience as the book explores various components of robotics and how each part contributes to the robot's overall functionality. Each page features a different part of the robot, showcasing how it enables movement or other functions. After learning about these components, children can unleash their creativity by designing their own robot while flipping through the pages and combining parts. This book not only fosters engineering skills and creative thinking but also introduces simple foundations of engineering design while encouraging curiosity and critical questioning. -Reviewer Hannah Garcia
