What if the screen time everyone worries about… quietly turned into STEM time? In There’s a Robot in my Video Game, part of the beloved series by Dr. Carlotta A. Berry and illustrated by Anak Bulu, we meet Maya and her favorite in-game robot, Pixel. But Pixel isn’t just there to rack up points. Pixel is there to teach. And that’s where the magic happens.

The story follows Miyoko, an eight-year-old with a curious mind who loves to understand how things work. Her best friend? Ingenuity, affectionately called Ginny—a robot who’s always ready to lend a mechanical hand. Together, they explore the playground in ways that spark Miyoko’s fascination with engineering and problem-solving.

Malia is a proud member of her all-girl troop — and their robotics competition team. Together, the girls design, build, and program their robot from the ground up. They don’t just assemble parts.

Miguel is 12 years old and already fascinated by the robot in his classroom. He watches it. Studies it. Plays with it. Wonders how it works.

There’s a Robot at My Summer Camp continues the joyful innovation of the There’s A Robot! series by Dr. Carlotta A. Berry.
