Lego Boost is a great set for kids, teens and adults to experience the fun of programming and learn serious skills during play. The full scope of functionalities and possibilities of the Boost-Set are often underestimated. Most users only build the models included in the set and experiment with some very simple designs. This book is to show the full potential of the Boost-Set. Based on six new models, some special building blocks and programming technics are explained.The description of each model is structured into the chapters “Build”, “Code” and “Play”: 1) Ball-Booster Automated ball path contraption using the color sensor and a catapult 2) Bob-It-BoosterParty-Game with score counter to show all sensoric functions 3) Weight-BoosterAutomated beam balance based on the tilt sensor 4) Boost-Writer Vehicle for writing, drawing and copying 5) Egg-Booster Multi-Color drawings on chicken eggs – even beyond Easter break 6) Cube BoosterDevice to solve the Rubix-Cube -Following the simple concept of the original Boost-Set, the book avoids theoretical explanations. In addition to detailed step-by-step building instructions, all programs are described in detail and every programming block is specifically explained. The “Play”-chapters inspire to own experiments and further development of the code and models.Especially with the writing and Cube-Solving models, the book can proof that there is not much of a gap between the Boost-Set and the more expensive Mindstorms-Set.Especially with the writing and Cube-Solving models, the book can show that there is not much of a gap between the Boost-Set and the more expensive Mindstorms-Set. Five of the six Sets can be built with just the pieces included in the original Boost-Set (17101). Only one set needs two extra bricks. These extra bricks are included in the Set “Arctic Explorer” (60194) or can be bought separately. This 130-page book provides many hours of fun and learning experiences for kids, teens and adults. Starting from large builds and simple programs it ranges to the complex automatic solving of a Rubix Cube.
