Robot Project
Get creative and make a robot! These fun projects for kids are aimed at students of different levels. Giving these students a specific challenge will also help them work towards a final goal, testing things like problem-solving skills, reasoning, creative ideas and teamwork.

| Build a robot from home things | Build a robot using electronic equipment |
| --- | --- |
| Let younger kids enjoy building a robot from everyday things. It's lots of fun and is sure to keep their attention. | For older groups of children you can try a robot building project using real electronic tools or a robotics kit(套件). |
| What you'll need: | What you'll need: |
| Useful materials include soft drink covers, old boxes, foil paper, plastic cups, old clothing, straws and *crayons*. | There are a number of great robotics kits out there as well as the always dependable Lego robot building sets. |
| General instructions: | General instructions: |
| You'll need quite a lot of materials (depending on how many children will be taking part). A good idea is to start off with unused cardboard boxes and go from there. | As well as designing and building their robot, students will have to think about how they will program it as well. |
| The children can glue or stick boxes together to form the general shape of a robot before attaching other items to complete the project. There is room for a lot of ideas about this project so if you have an idea that you think will work, give it a go! | This project may be developed into a great science fair project *focusing on* technology. You could research what kind of artificial intelligence your robot can do. You can also find out any physical limitations it has that hinder it from performing required tasks. |

文章介绍两类适合不同年龄段孩子的机器人制作项目：低龄儿童用家庭废旧物品手工创作，锻炼动手与想象力；大龄孩子借助电子套件或编程搭建，培养解决问题、推理与团队协作能力。
1. A 推理判断题。由第一段中“help them work towards a final goal, testing things like problem-solving skills, reasoning, creative ideas and teamwork”可知，机器人项目的目的在于提高孩子们的能力。
2. B 图片理解题。由“The children can glue or stick boxes together to form the general shape of a robot before attaching other items to complete the project.”可知，用家中材料制作机器人的第一步是用纸盒子粘框架。
3. A 推理判断题。由“There is room for a lot of ideas about this project so if you have an idea that you think will work, give it a go!”可知，日常物品制作的机器人有助于孩子们发挥创造力。
4. B 推理判断题。由“As well as designing and building their robot, students will have to think about how they will program it as well.”可知，电子机器人需要编程技能。
5. C 词义猜测题。上文提及“你还可以发现你的机器人存在哪些物理限制”，下文对应表示：导致阻碍它执行所需任务。
