The robot helper

Completing your chores can take such a long time. With help from Gyro the robot, Maz and Katt's chores are finished fast! Science stories Written for the inquisitive minds of children, this book aims to introduce the wonders of the physical world. Scientific concepts are introduced in a fun and understandable way, helping and encouraging children to enquire and learn. With the rapid pace of technological development, it is important that children are introduced and exposed to key scientific concepts at an early age. Connecting children with these ideas early in life through storytelling provides familiarity with these topics to assist them with their ongoing education. Science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) skills have become extremely important to keep up with the continually changing world around us and will be essential for careers of the future. These books encourage children to develop a curiosity and passion for understanding the world around us, so they may go on to become lifelong learners who are scientifically-literate and value evidence-based practice.
