BOLT and the Brain Machine: The Kids' Activity Guide to Artificial Intelligence and Future Technology. Learn AI, Robotics, and Coding Through Stories,

Meet BOLT — a friendly robot from the year 2075 who has traveled through time with one very important message: the future needs YOU. When curious 8-year-old Maya discovers a chrome robot sitting on her windowsill one Tuesday morning, she has no idea her world is about to change forever. Over the course of one magical week, BOLT takes Maya — and the reader — on an unforgettable journey through the most exciting ideas of our time: Artificial Intelligence, robots, coding, quantum computing, and the technology that will shape the next 50 years. Packed with 18 story chapters and over 20 hands-on activities, BOLT and the Brain Machine turns big tech ideas into real experiences — no computer required. Children train their own pretend AI using nothing but paper and a friend. They write their names in binary code. They build a cardboard robotic arm using the same engineering design process NASA uses for space missions. They play the IF-THEN logic game that teaches the same conditional thinking used in every app, every game, and every AI system on the planet.
