Flu is the leading cause of infectious-disease death and killed 80,000 people in the U.S. during the 2017-2018 season. The flu season typically starts in October and peaks in De- cember, and with the vaccine taking about two weeks to kick in, the Marin Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are recommending flu shots as soon as they’re available to get the best protection for yourself and to help protect vulnerable neighbors and friends. The CDC recommends everyone age 6 months and older should be vaccinated, including pregnant women and those with egg allergies. For people with extreme egg allergies — anything worse than hives — doctors recommend a health- care provider who can respond and manage an allergic reaction give the vaccine in a medical setting; fewer than 1 in a million experience extreme allergic reactions. High-dose shots are also recommended for those ages 65 and older. Whether you receive the inactivated, injectable vaccine or the live, attenuated nasal-spray vaccine, the flu vaccine cannot give you the flu. Where to get a vaccine: • Your doctor: Health insurance through California’s state-run marketplace, along with most private plans includ- DIANE SMITH / FOR THE ARK ing Kaiser Permanente, offer the vaccine for free.

Circuits, continued from page 1 ——— Each car was different based on how the students chose to build their circuits. “Some were powerful, some were really fast, some had big wheels” that were powered by multiple motors, said seventh-grader Grady Hofeditz, noting each group “placed cubes in certain ways that benefited them.” Students learned to make adjustments as they built, altering the circuits they had created with the cubes accordingly to get the right amount of power, to make their car travel the desired direction or to make lights or other features work. “It was really cool that we could make things that moved, had weapons and de- stroyed other things,” seventh-grader Ellen Hock said of the project. That kind of interactive learning experience is exactly what MacDonald had in mind when he created Circuit Cubes some four years ago. Backed by more than $2 million in ven- ture capital, MacDonald, 45, and his former coworker John Schuster co-founded Tenka Labs in 2015. They developed the cubes, which are sold individually as well as part of simple kits that enable kids to build a variety of projects, from a flashlight to a self-powered CLARA LU / FOR THE ARK car to a motor-powered machine that draws Nate MacDonald, a science teacher at Del Mar Middle School, shows students how to design, model, glue, solder and connect parts together to build with a pen or marker. The cubes can also be circuits and create functioning electric tools.
