Why Won’t This Sand Get Wet?
When Nova and Milo discover a strange dry patch of sand after the rain, Dr. Zaptain reveals that it’s made from a special water-repelling material. A surprising underwater test shows the sand staying dry

The science museum was filled with glowing screens, moving robots, and blinking machines.
Milo stopped in front of a large booth with a bright sign above it.
Milo: “Whoa. ‘Talk to the AI.’”
Nova looked at the camera above the screen.
Nova: “I think it can see us.”
The screen suddenly lit up.
“HELLO, VISITORS.”
Milo jumped slightly.
Milo: “Okay… that’s creepy.”
Dr. Zaptain adjusted his glasses calmly.
Dr. Zaptain: “Not creepy, Cadet. Intelligent.”
The screen displayed three pictures: a dog, a bicycle, and a banana.
The AI identified all three instantly.
DOG.
BICYCLE.
BANANA.
Milo blinked.
Milo: “It answered faster than me.”
Nova waved her hand in front of the screen.
The AI responded immediately.
“PERSON DETECTED.”
Nova: “It really is watching.”
