Books, Manuscripts
Huddled in tense silence, a team of scientists watches a bank of flickering screens. Years of design and engineering work, tests, failures, redesigns and successes are bound up in this moment. Finally, a grainy picture appears on the screens. Cheers erupts as the men and women realize their robot has landed safely on Mars! 'Get to Work with Science and Technology' is a fascinating new series that introduces readers to the real-life applications of STEM subjects. In this title readers will meet the scientists who design and build robots, send them into space, and even drive the rovers that are exploring Mars today.
