👧🤖💬 Have you ever wished a friend could notice how you feel and respond in just the right way? Today, your robot becomes that friend. In this lesson, you’ll create a Caring Robot that doesn’t just see your face — it understands your emotions and reacts with kindness. When you smile, your robot shares in your happiness and celebrates with you 😄. When you frown, it senses your sadness and comforts you with gentle words 😢🤗. When you glare or look frustrated, it notices your anger and helps you calm down by guiding you to take a deep breath 😠💨. Through this project, you’ll learn that recognizing emotions is powerful: it helps us respond thoughtfully and kindly to others. Your robot is your practice partner for empathy — by teaching it to respond to feelings, you’ll also learn how to notice and care for the emotions of people around you. By the end of the lesson, your robot won’t just detect emotions — it will be a little helper that listens, cares, and responds with empathy. 🌟

💡 Teaching Goal: Kids learn that recognizing emotions can help us respond kindly, turning awareness into thoughtful actions.
