\n\t\n\t\tReady Jet Go! is a popular PBS KIDS animated series that introduces children to astronomy, science, and engineering. DEPT\u00ae served as a digital partner for PBS KIDS and Wind Dancer Films during the show’s two-season run. Our collaboration reached new heights with one of our most ambitious games to date: Jet’s Bot Builder.\t<\/p><\/div>\n\n

\n\t\t\t\t\n
\n\t\tIn today\u2019s digitally-driven society, it\u2019s never been more important to foster traits like curiosity, wonder, problem-solving, and decision-making in children. These characteristics provide a critical foundation for learning, especially when it comes to STEM subjects, or science, technology, engineering, and math.

Early STEM education has been found to improve children\u2019s critical thinking skills, positively shape their approach to learning, and boost confidence. But perhaps even more importantly, it sets children up for success in our modern world \u2014 one in which the workforce and economy is increasingly reliant on STEM-based industries.

Of course, sitting down young kids with a problem set and calculator or a lab report and highlighter isn\u2019t a practical way to introduce STEM concepts. So, DEPT\u00ae, Wind Dancer Films, and PBS KIDS, along with adaptive learning organization Enlearn, set out on a mission to create an adaptive gaming environment that was both fun and an immersive STEM-forward learning experience. By bringing in familiar characters like Jet and friends, kids can lose themselves in the engaging extension of Ready Jet Go!\u2019s universe \u2014 AKA our solar system \u2014 while exploring valuable STEM concepts along the way.\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
