Space Racers™ is a new animated TV series giving children exposure to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) curriculum. Now available for families and educators, they have produced a DVD and CD ROM collection in collaboration with NASA experts. The show presents young spaceship cadets including Eagle, Hawk, Robyn, Starling, and Raven flying through the solar system, learning about the power of scientific investigation and observation, space exploration, and teamwork.
Instructional lesson plans, family activities and kids printables were developed by WNET New York Public Media. WNET’s educators worked with the Space Racers™ team to create fun learning experiences for children. This toolkit is a fun and engaging way to start children discovering STEM educational learning.
