Reading

Zara has always been curious about how things work, so for her birthday, her parents gave her a robotics kit. The kit included small motors, wheels, wires, and a simple computer chip that could be programmed using a tablet. At first, Zara found the instructions confusing, but her older cousin, who studies engineering at university, helped her understand the basic steps. Together they built a small robot that could move forward, turn left and right, and avoid bumping into walls using a sensor. Zara was amazed when her robot successfully drove around her bedroom without hitting any furniture. She has since joined an after-school robotics club, where she is learning to build more complicated robots with her classmates.
