Description
A Reading Bug Adventure with Original Songs
An Adventure Encore Episode. Part 1 of 2. Join Lauren and the Reading Bug as they are whisked into a Robot Adventure at the Institute for Robots and Intelligent Machines. Guided by Roby, a friendly humanoid robot, listeners learn how robots sense, think, and act — from drones and rovers to helpful trashbots and robotic pets. But when Roby discovers that a beloved therapy dogbot named Fido is about to be recycled, he asks for help on a daring rescue mission to reunite Fido with a heartbroken girl named Remi. Along the way, the friends learn about empathy, courage, and what it really means to have a heart. Packed with STEM learning, music, and warmth, this episode explores whether being “real” is about how you’re built — or how you care for others.
