Talking Points

• "Robots are machines that can do tasks on their own without human help. They are like helpful friends!"
• "Robots have sensors that help them understand the world around them. Just like how we use our eyes and ears to see and hear things."
• "Robots can be programmed to follow instructions. It's like giving them a special set of rules to follow."
• "When you build your own robot model, you are using your creativity and imagination to bring your robot friend to life!"
