Come to build robots!
Robots are fun to play with, but did you know that they are equally fun to build?
Don’t worry, it’s easier than you may think. You don’t have to know lots about
electronics or be a genius at engineering to have a go at creating your own robot.
There are lots of simple kits (配套原件) and resources available that make it easy
to build a robot in your own home, and if you don’t feel confident enough to have
a go at home, there are plenty of clubs that offer courses in robot-building for
young people.
◇Why to build?
“Creating a robot teaches you in great about how it is put together and how
it works, “says Steve Hubbard, of Robot Fun, which hosts robotics master classes
for teens in Suffolk. “As you build and test a robot, you also learn how to fix
it when things go wrong, as they always do.” Building and programming a robot is
a practical application of science and engineering and a great way of learning how
to solve all sorts of problems. You don’t need any special skills. If you can build
with Lego or draw a line, you can build and program a robot.
◇How to start?
Matthew Applegate runs the Creative Computing Club in Ipswich, Suffolk. He says,
“The Lego Robots kits are amazing. You can use cardboard, glue sticks and string
to make a prototype (雏形).’’ Some kits can be expensive but there are ways to build
your robots using things around the house. You can build an arm with cardboard, straws
and string, adding it to a low-cost kit.
Building robots is really great. It isn’t easy at first,but when you get better,
you will be surprised how much you can do. Come to get your first robot kit and make
it whirr into life!

29. What’s essential to build a robot at home?
A. Good skills at electronics.
B. Necessary parts to put together.
C. Much knowledge on engineering.
D. Rich experience in playing with robots.

A. tinyurl.com/TW J-robotbuggy
B. tinyurl,com/TW J-realrobots
C. tinyurl.com/TW J-resources

A. To encourage teens to learn to solve problems by building robots.
B. To explain the advantages of building one’s own robots.
C. To analyse the need of teens to build their own robots.
D. To advertise a method of building robots with fun.

Free Haircuts on a Red Chair
Last summer, Katie Steller was on her way to work. She stopped at a traffic light,
where a man, in his 60s,looking out of luck, was sitting alone. She rolled down her
window.
“Hey!” she shouted.“ I’m driving around giving free haircuts. Do you want
one right now?”
The man, missing a few teeth, paused and laughed. “Actually,” he said, “I
have a funeral(葬礼)to go to this week. I was really hoping to get a haircut.”
Then, Steller unloaded a red chair from the car. The man,named Edward, took a
seat.As Steller was cutting his curly graying hair,he told her about growing up in
Mississippi,about moving to Minnesota,and how he still talked to his mom over phone
every day.
To date,Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city.They
are all living on the margins,and she is aware of the power of her work.
“It’s more than a haircut,”she says.“I want it to be a gateway,to show value
and respect,but also to get to know people.”
Steller knows that a haircut can change a life.One changed hers:As a teen,she
suffered from ulcerative colitis(溃疡性结肠炎)that was so serious,her hair thinned
severely.Seeing this,her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut.
“To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not
just an illness,it helped me feel cared about and less alone,”she says.
After that,Steller knew she wanted to have her own hair salon so she could help
people feel the way she’d felt that day.Not long after finishing cosmetology
school(美容学校)in 2016,she realized her dream.Two years later,she began what she
now calls her Red Chair Project,reaching out to people on the streets.
Steller said,“I can’t fix their problems,but maybe I can help them feel less
alone for a moment.”Steller listens to people’s stories of loss,addiction,and
struggle to get back on their feet.
An offshoot of the Red Chair Project is the Steller Kindness Project,in which
people who commit acts of kindness are invited for a free makeover(美容)at Steller’
