Über diesen Titel

Episode 6 (2026-02-21) — Calm, classroom-ready news for kids ages 5–9. What’s inside: 1) Space & Engineering: Falcon 9 launches satellites, then the booster lands on a drone ship so it can be reused. Key idea: engineers plan, test, and improve designs to save resources. 2) Nature & Conservation: Young Floreana giant tortoises return to Floreana Island after disappearing in the 1800s. Key idea: breeding programs and habitat restoration can help ecosystems recover. 3) Art & Community: The Wang Contemporary opens in NYC’s Chinatown during Lunar New Year, featuring performances and red-envelope-inspired paper planes. Key idea: art spaces can be “playgrounds for the brain” that bring people together. Parent/Teacher Corner: Use these stories to talk about problem-solving—how people plan carefully, test ideas, and work as a team. Discussion Questions: • If you could reuse one thing in the world like a rocket booster, what would it be and why? • How can art or nature projects help a neighborhood or an island feel more “alive”? Keywords: reuse, engineering, satellites, Galápagos, conservation, ecosystems, Lunar New Year, community arts.
