  • Curiosity curators!

    My daughter recently found your show and we adore it! I love how accessible they make the topics and how they constantly model open-mindedness and curiosity. The world needs more of those traits! The team does such an amazing job weaving science together with topics that will engage kids and I especially appreciate the diverse voices I hear. On top of all that, the ‘special sauce’ of songs written to accompany the material? Pure brilliance. Keep doing what you’re doing!
