Take Your Kids on an “Indiana Jones” Adventure in Petra, Jordan
Petra is an ancient archeological site hiding deep in a canyon in the mountains of Jordan. There are temples, tombs, and homes all built into the bright red stone. A day in Petra is like an Indiana Jones adventure for kids – hiking though canyons, discovering ancient artifacts, and exploring caves with hidden rooms and chambers. In order to get to the main site, you have to walk through a narrow canyon called the Siq. With every few steps, you discover something new as you follow the unexpected twists and turns. My son loved wandering through the Siq, as we all pretended to be on an adventure as archaeologists to…

Breaking Bread with Brooke Burke
With the holidays upon us hosting or attending family dinners can be so much fun or chaotic or a little of both don’t you think? One of my favorite memories is the year my mother thought it would be fun to have a food fight on Thanksgiving. Yes, we were all sitting around the table enjoying our turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole (well, at the time my mom was the only one who liked that dish), and dinner rolls when my mom picked up a handful of mashed potatoes and threw them at my dad, laughing the whole time. After a few moments of complete shock…

PBS Kids Nature Cat Encourages Outdoor Exploration
Last May at the PBS annual meeting we heard about a new PBS Kids show called Nature Cat that premieres tomorrow November 25th, after the first hour-long WILD KRATTS holiday special, “Creature Christmas.” Nature Cat is geared towards children ages 3-8 and is designed to encourage children to explore and develop connections with the natural world. The show was created by the very talented Rudman brothers, David Rudman (“Cookie Monster” and “Baby Bear” on Sesame Street; “Scooter” and “Janice” on The Muppets) and Adam Rudman (Tom & Jerry, Sesame Street, Cyberchase). We had a chance to speak to them at the PBS annual meeting and they spoke about how much…

PBS Digital Studios Provides Unique Learning Experiences
PBS Digital Studios is the public broadcaster’s digital arm that is successfully bringing the YouTube generation into the PBS world with 20 million views per month. Part of the PBS Digital Studio’s strategy is to create programming that was digital first and not so much about shortening existing broadcasts. Part of the success is by finding creatives who are already successful on YouTube or other online platforms, particularly in science, and exposing them to a wider audience—in some cases turning YouTube hobbyists into full-time PBS hosts. (Source: FastCompany). The various series in the PBS Digital Studios network, which range from animated explorations of neuroscience to lessons in Texas barbecue, are “purposefully…
