Grade K-2: Saturn drew a ten-sided shape, a spaceship reached Mercury after 8 years, kids everywhere are coding robots, and how to spot a tricky message!

About This Episode

This week on TechCheck for grades K–2: the Hubble Space Telescope found a shape with ten straight sides — a decagon — in the clouds at Saturn's south pole, wide enough to line up thirteen Earths across it; the BepiColombo spacecraft let go of its engine module after almost eight years of flying and is finally arriving at Mercury; nearly 500 kids in Vietnam and more in India brought robots to national championships, where the robots had to run the course with no remote control and only the code the kids wrote; and we learn the number-one clue that a message is a trick — it tells you to HURRY. Kid-friendly, classroom-safe, and ready for circle time.• Saturn Drew a Shape!• A Spaceship Finally Arrives• Kids Everywhere Are Building Robots• If It Sounds Too Good, Check!CHAPTERS0:00 Intro0:36 Saturn Drew a Shape!1:28 A Spaceship Finally Arrives2:19 Kids Everywhere Are Building Robots3:17 If It Sounds Too Good, Check!4:22 Recap & takeaways#TechCheck #EdTech #DigitalCitizenship
