South Florida PBS (WPBT, WXEL, & Health Channel) in partnership with the Museum of Discovery and Science is excited to launch the 2nd season of KidVision: Full STEAM Ahead Virtual Summer Series starting Thursday, June 30th at 2 PM on Zoom!
School’s out, but the learning doesn’t stop! The KidVision: Full STEAM Ahead series, led by KidVision’s Miss Penny, will educate children on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math with seven different virtual events consisting of fun hands-on activities. Little scientists and artists alike, all children, will be able to find a virtual event that aligns with their interests or allows them to explore new ones. This series will run for seven consecutive weeks starting on Thursday, June 30th at 2 PM and continuing through August 11th each Thursday at 2:00 PM LIVE on ZOOM, Facebook, and YouTube! After each virtual event, the activities will air on all South Florida PBS channels (WPBT, WXEL, and South Florida PBS Kids 24/7).
