Good morning and welcome to Kid News. I'm Kim. Today is Tuesday, March 24th, 2026. And we begin with a line of

cheese steaks that could stretch longer than the line of travelers at Philly International.

Today is National Cheese Steak Day. And to celebrate the airport in the city that made the cheese steak

famous is attempting a mouth-watering world record.

Every cheese steak-making restaurant at the airport, and there are a lot.

We'll team up to build a continuous concourse-spanning line of the hot hoagies between terminals B and C.

The number they need to break that record hasn't been announced, but sources put it in the 500 range. The tasty attempt

will be made between 9 and noon today, and representatives from Guinness World Records will be on

hand to measure every morsel. A teenager from Warrington, Virginia, is making waves when it comes to

drinking water. Specifically,

she has a solution to problematic microplastics. 18-year-old Mia Heller's idea is to harness

the power of a special magnetic oil called ferrofluid that can grab onto the microscopic menaces,

many of which are too small to be seen. Then a magnet pulls them out, leaving clean water behind.

In home tests, Mia's invention removed 96% of those particles, which is as good or better

than most high-tech systems already in use.

Mia says the next step is to have her results professionally confirmed and then maybe

scale it up and sell it. March Madness is down to its Sweet 16. On the men's side, a lot of powerhouses

are in and a few outliers too, notably Nebraska, which has never made it this far, along with Texas,

St. John's, and Iowa, which knocked off reigning big dance champion and number one seed Florida

on Sunday. But before the Gators lost as a team, one of them entered the record books.

Seven foot nine-inch center, Olivier Rieu, who's already made history as the tallest regular season

college player ever, made more history as the tallest player ever to play in March Madness.
