Full Episode description
In this episode, Culture Kids travels to New York City to explore City Works, a hands-on family exhibit at the New York Hall of Science.
Together with Amelia- the Director of Exhibit Design and Development, Asher and Mom discover the incredible systems and the people behind them that keep cities running every single day. From buses and ferries to water pipes and wastewater treatment, this episode helps kids understand that cities are much more than buildings. They’re living systems powered by teamwork, science, and care.
How transportation systems like buses, subways, and ferries help people move around a city
Where clean drinking water comes from and what happens after we flush the toilet
How sanitation and wastewater systems protect neighborhoods, rivers, and oceans
Why scientists, engineers, and city workers are so important to everyday life
How cities around the world may look different—but all work to care for their communities
Kids will love pretending to drive a city bus through Times Square, learning about rainwater and drains, and discovering the famous “4 Ps” of what’s safe to flush: pee, poop, puke, and paper!
