Learn why Linda Walker of World Wildlife Fund considers forests to be a climate superhero by checking out this sneak peek of next week’s episode: Arbor Avengers!
Breathe in… breathe out, Dreamers! Today, we’re learning all about mindfulness and how it can help us stay calm and deal with tough emotions. First, explore the science behind meditation from Maryam Abdullah, Parenting Program Director at the Greater Good Science Center. Then, sit back, relax, and enjoy a guided meditation from our friends at Inner Explorer (in English starting at 16:06 and Spanish starting at 21:06!) that you’ll want to come back to time and time again.
Get your sketchpads out, dreamers! In this episode, we explore the wonder of animation and discover how technology has revolutionized the process. First, hear from Dave Cunningham, Supervising Director of Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants, about how his team uses technology to bring Bikini Bottom to life! Then, listen to De Lisa Patterson, Marketing Creative Supervisor at GEICO, discuss the creative collaboration that goes into creating the beloved GEICO Gecko! Join kid Interviewers Grace and Veronica from Rosie Riveters, a partner of National Children’s Museum, as they investigate the intersection between art and technology.
In less than a year, medical experts and scientists worked together to create a vaccine to defeat COVID-19, and in this episode, we discover how they did it! Dr. Roberta DeBiasi, the Chief of Infectious Diseases at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, DC, joins us to breakdown how vaccines are made and how they protect us. Then, we take a trip through A.J.’s immune system to see how the vaccine is used to defend against COVID-19!
We need your help hosting our upcoming podcast episodes! Are you a curious 7- to 12-year-old? We want to hear from you! Learn how you can become a National Children’s Museum Kid Interviewer at nationalchildrensmuseum.org/podcast/. The deadline for submissions is Monday, February 1 at 5:00 pm EST.
Dreamers, keep your seatbelts fastened throughout the episode—we’re hitching a ride through the sky with A.J. on his biplane for some up-close cloud observing! With the help of some Mighty Meteorologists, A.J. guides a cloud through an identity crisis. Adriana Bailey, Atmospheric Scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, shares all about atmospheric science. Then, we hear all about predicting the weather from Ginger Zee, Chief Meteorologist for ABC7 News and Good Morning America.
Full STEAM ahead! A.J.’s car is broken, and he needs help getting it fixed. So, in this episode, we are learning all about engineering and safety!
