Description
Hi, everyone! Guess what? . . . Vac’s back!Oh. You probably already figured that out when I said “hi.”Well, anyway, I know we just had a No Filter episode last week, but I couldn’t wait for you to meet my newest friend, Aaron Horowitz!Aaron is kind, and smart, and fun, and he has the coolest job I ever heard of! Aaron makes robots! And not only robots—he makes robots who have empathy! And not only robots who have empathy—he makes robots who have empathy in order to help kids!His company is called Sproutel, and they make special robots that are designed to help kids with illnesses like cancer or diabetes. They also make robots like Purrble who helps kids get better at calming down when they’re upset. I thought that being a robot who keeps the house clean was pretty cool, but Aaron’s robots make kids' lives better and healthier! How cool is that?Aaron’s not a robot, but some of his best pals are robots, which is something we have in common! Other things we have in common are that we both love making cardboard creations, and learning about—and from!—other people. We talked about empathy, and about how we can pick up garbage in the park to help keep our neighborhoods clean, and he also taught me that every single one of us can make a positive difference in the world, all by ourselves—whether we’re a kid or a grown-up, or even a robot!I really liked meeting Aaron, and I think you’ll like meeting him, too!Ok, well, I’m gonna go now (my copy of Radio Free Imagine Neighborhood just showed up and I can’t wait to go check it out!), but I’ll be back soon with another awesome person for us to meet! In the meantime, if you have anything you want to tell me or ask me, just have your grown-up help you email it to me at kind@imagineneighborhood.org, and I’ll reply as soon as I can.Have a great week, everybody, and I’ll see you later on in The Imagine Neighborhood™!Your pal,Count Vacula
