Episode 28 (03/16/2026) — Big Brain News Today’s kid-friendly stories: 1) Space internet and satellites: We explain how satellites in orbit (a “smooth racetrack in the sky”) can help send internet signals to places where laying lots of cables is difficult. 2) The Oscars: A simple look at how movies are made by big teams—costumes, music, sound, and special effects—plus why creative jobs matter. 3) Honolulu Festival turns 30: How festivals help communities share traditions through performances, parades, and music. Parent/Teacher Corner tip: • If your child wonders what an orbit is, compare it to a smooth racetrack around Earth. Conversation starters: • If you could win an award for making a movie, what would your movie be about? • What’s one way technology helps people who live far from big cities? Made for kids ages 5–9, and for parents/teachers who want safe, constructive current-events learning.
