About This Episode

This week on TechCheck for grades Kโ€“2: a lunar eclipse turned almost the whole Moon a rusty red โ€” and it's completely safe to watch with your own eyes; more than 2,000 human-shaped robots raced and played sports in Beijing, and plenty of them fell right over; NASA's Curiosity rover climbed a whole kilometer up a mountain on Mars; self-driving cars got the OK to give more rides; and more schools than ever are giving phones a rest during the day. Kid-friendly, classroom-safe, and ready for circle time.This week on โ€œTiny Tech, Big Newsโ€ (Grades Kโ€“2):โ€ข The Moon Turned Red!โ€ข Robots Ran a Race โ€” and Fell Down!โ€ข A Robot Climbed a Mountain on Marsโ€ข Cars That Drive Themselvesโ€ข Phones Take a Rest at Schoolโฑ๏ธ CHAPTERS0:00 Intro0:40 The Moon Turned Red!1:29 Robots Ran a Race โ€” and Fell Down!2:15 A Robot Climbed a Mountain on Mars2:57 Cars That Drive Themselves3:34 Phones Take a Rest at School4:17 Recap & takeaways#TechCheck #EdTech #DigitalCitizenship
