a. Leo: Good idea! He might have some extra materials we can borrow quickly.

b. Mia: Seriously? Finding the right materials is such a headache sometimes.

c. Leo: Ugh, we totally ran out of those little colorful magnets for the motor.

d. Mia: Maybe we can try asking Mr. Johnson in the science lab for some?

e. Leo: They don't sell this specific size at any shop near the school.

a. Mia: Yeah! It's crazy how that tiny robot can drive around up there alone.

b. Mia: That invention helps scientists explore places humans can't go yet.

c. Leo: I wish I could control the rover from my computer at home!

d. Leo: Did you see the news about that little rover invention on Mars?

e. Leo: It sends back amazing photos of the red planet's surface to us.

a. Sam: Would you ever want to get one of those fluffy AI pet cats?

b. Ruby: I don't know; I think I prefer a real animal companion sometimes.

c. Sam: Maybe I'll get one to see if I like having an AI friend.

d. Ruby: That's true; they must be a much cleaner pet invention to own.

e. Sam: But the AI pets are quieter and never make a mess inside.

a. Gina: That freshness helps them invent useful solutions that are brand new.

b. Finn: Have you noticed how much creativity young kids use in STEM class?

c. Finn: They think of different ways to fix things that older people don't see.
