Q: My kids love Ready Jet Go. Any suggestions to expand their curiosity about space?

From Mrs. Pizzo's Workshop

A: I love Ready Jet Go, too. And when Jet Propulsion sings, “nice to meet you, human race tell me more about this place,” I want to sing back, “tell me more about outer space.” 

I can get pretty caught up with our wonderful PBS shows. They really do an amazing job piquing our interest and fostering a love for learning. That’s why I turned to my friend, Shannon Schmoll, Director of Abrams Planetarium, to help with this answer:

The Talbert and Leota Abrams Planetarium, located on the beautiful Michigan State University campus, serves as an astronomy and space science education resource center for central Michigan. The planetarium offers a variety of shows to the public--preschool through senior citizens.  Due to COVID19, Abrams Planetarium is closed, however many great services are still being offered. Check out the events below and let’s explore together.”
