festivities conducting professional caliber interviews with the

1:08

likes of Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey and

1:10

George Kittle. Jeremiah told the NFL Network

1:12

he started his broadcasting career at age

1:15

seven because he wasn't able to play

1:17

sports due to some medical issues,

1:19

adding, I started my YouTube channel and

1:21

yes, I do think I can keep

1:24

this as a career because I do

1:26

still love the sport and do know

1:28

a lot about it. If the rave

1:31

reviews from fans and media professionals are

1:33

any indication, he may be right.

4:38

bank a few years ago when she

4:41

realized all the donated vegetables came in

4:43

cans and boxes with nothing fresh or

4:45

green. So Lauren decided to plant a

4:48

garden on her family's farm and Dixon,

In our Kid News Kicker, what's better

6:27

than a smoke detector? A 12 year

6:29

old from San Jose, California may have

6:31

just invented the answer. Shania Gill of

6:33

Miller Middle School won the Thermo

6:36

Fisher Junior Innovators STEM Challenge, a $25,000

6:38

prize and the chance to scale up her idea

6:42

for a fire detection system that triggers

6:44

before there's a lot of smoke. It

6:47

uses a thermal imaging device to

6:49

detect heat and can differentiate between

6:51

people moving around horizontally and something

6:54

like flames or smoke moving vertically.

6:56

If something's hot for 10 minutes

6:58

and no humans are nearby, the

7:00

system sends an alert. According to

7:02

the Good News Network, Shania plans

7:04

to improve on her award-winning concept

7:07

by adding a smartphone app, better

7:09

algorithms and a camera. Before

7:11

we get a shout out to our terrific

Kid News teachers, Mrs. Holmes and

and her Rams at Riverdale in
