Dialogue
Thomas: I would make a big, strong robot that could carry me around. It could bring me to school and take me to other places.
Helen: Like a robot horse?
Thomas: No! I would want to sit inside of it if the weather is bad. And I would want it to be human-shaped. Then, it can walk up and down mountains and things like that. I could go anywhere.
Helen: Cool! Okay. I would design a robot that designs other robots. I would want it to be a robot-creating robot.
Thomas: What do you mean?
Helen: First, I would tell the robot what I want to do. Next, it would make another robot that could do that.
Thomas: What kinds of things would the robots do?
Helen: Like… my homework!
Thomas: That’s brilliant!
