Computers are everywhere: at school, in our homes, and in factories and offices. Many people have a mini-computer in their pocket! This engaging series looks at computers and their uses, with an emphasis on the STEM principles that underpin how they work.
Robotics brings together computer programming, science, and engineering. It's the branch of science that builds robots and programs them to perform tasks.
