""STEM learning transformed into an intergalactic adventure."" - Booklife by Publishers Weekly ""Beyond the variety of STEM facts included here, readers will find a feast of fun as well. Osara addresses AI (""super smart machines that can learn and think just like us. Sounds like magic, doesn't it?""), the processes behind foods like potato chips, and more. The illustrations are interesting, offsetting weighty material with entertaining images like a vacuuming robot, though the art styles, which at times suggest clip art, vary at times for reasons that aren't clear. Osara closes with a glossary and interactive STEM activities kids can do at home, including making a rainbow in a jar or crafting a binary bracelet."" - Booklife by PW
