Abstract
Layla and the Bots: Built for Speed is an illustrated early chapter book for K-3 readers about a rockstar/inventor and her band of bots who help a young girl in a wheelchair by inventing a custom-designed go-kart. The book is the second title in the Layla and the Bots series, which uses project-based stories to introduce young readers to foundational ideas in design thinking, engineering, and coding. This volume focuses on design decisions related to accessibility and motion. The story follows Layla and her band of bots as they learn about their user’s needs through conversation and observation. Then, they develop and test ideas for their invention to meet those needs
