Grade K-2: A blood-red Moon, clumsy racing robots, a Mars-climbing rover, and self-driving cars!

Space & ScienceRobotics

About This Episode

This week on TechCheck for grades K–2: a lunar eclipse turned almost the whole Moon a rusty red — 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.
