My kids love learning about space and science and so I am super excited about the new PBS Kids show “Ready Jet Go!” that will air next week (2/15/16). While I was in Austin, TX last year for the PBS Annual Meeting I was able to meet Jet Propulsion Laboratory astronomer Dr. Amy Mainzer, who also is the science curriculum consultant for the show. I also got to meet Craig Bartlett, who created the show as well as the PBS KIDS’ hit series DINOSAUR TRAIN.
READY JET GO! takes viewers on a journey into outer space, building on children’s curiosity about science, technology and astronomy. The series follows two neighborhood kids: Sean, who has an all-consuming drive for science facts, and Sydney, who has a passion for science fiction and imagination. They both befriend the new kid on their street, Jet Propulsion, whose family members happen to be aliens from the planet Bortron 7. Together, they explore the solar system and the effects it has on the science of our planet, while learning about friendship and teamwork along the way. READ MORE
To celebrate this great show premiering on PBS, we received an amazing science kit! It included a water rocket, telescope kit, space matching game, and more.
While you are waiting for this amazing and fun new show to air, you can preview several full-length 11-minute stories from READY JET GO! on digital platforms. The videos are available for free on pbskids.org, the PBS KIDS Video App and PBS KIDS Video on Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Xbox One and Chromecast.
Be sure to tune into the show starting 2/15/16 and head over to http://pbskids.org/readyjetgo for fun games, videos and activities!
That sounds so cute. I miss watching PBS shows. My kids always loved them.
This sounds like such a fun show with a really cool setting. Kids are going to be so excited to follow their space adventures.
We LOVE PBS. We watch Wild Kratts and among others. I have not seen commercials for this show I will have to see when it is on here.
Sounds like a show that kids will love watching. I can’t remember the last time I saw a kiddie show. The girls are all grown up now.
I LOVE PBS, especially for kids! That science kit looks really cool, too. I could totally see my nephew diving into that while watching PBS!
Sounds great. These is really perfect for the kids 🙂 My nephew will surely love these.
I do not have small children anymore, however this show would be something my nieces and nephews would love. They are so much into discovering new things and this would be a great show to fuel their interest in science.
Sounds like a fun show for kids. My son loved watching all kinds of shows like this. Actually at 12 we still like watching Animal Planet and movies/shows on Netflix around real life animals as well.
I think my son would really like this! He really likes shows about science and astronomy.
will introduce this to my duaghter she loves science too!
PBS is fun. My kids often go their website to check out games
PBS is great. They do a wonderful job merging learning with entertainment. It’s amazing how inappropriate some cartoons are these days. Nice to see something wholesome.
