This week on TechCheck for grades K–2: seventeen students in Kazakhstan, with their teachers, built a satellite smaller than your fist, and a rocket carried it to space; a robot called Albatross spins down from the sky like a maple seed and then sails like a boat; a squishy robot copies a sea animal called a feather star to swim up, forward and around with only two moving parts; and a school got a trick email offering a job — so we practice: don't click, tell a grown-up! Kid-friendly, classroom-safe, and ready for circle time. IN THIS EPISODE
