High-Tech Lego

A collection of 10 fascinating scientific and technical projects to build with parts from the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 robotics set and other components. A great addition to any STEM curriculum or home library.

The 10 projects in this book use parts from multiple LEGO sets, including the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 set, to recreate highly technical inventions and explore science concepts along the way. Projects include a motion-activated camera for spying on wild animals, a tool that measures the latitude and tilt of the earth, a skywatching tool to observe satellites, and more. Readers learn how to combine LEGO parts with other components, sometimes breaking the LEGO "rules" by altering pieces with power tools, to create entirely new parts for experiments.

這本書收錄了10個引人入勝的科學和技術專案，使用了來自LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3機器人套件和其他零件。這是任何STEM課程或家庭圖書館的絕佳補充。

這本書中的10個專案使用了多個LEGO套件的零件，包括LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3套件，以重新創造高度技術性的發明，並在過程中探索科學概念。專案包括一個用於監視野生動物的感應攝影機，一個測量地球緯度和傾斜度的工具，一個觀察衛星的天文觀測工具等等。讀者將學習如何將LEGO零件與其他零件結合，有時候會使用電動工具改變零件，打破LEGO的「規則」，以創造全新的實驗零件。
