Martian Explorations
A live-streaming role-playing game for kids aged 6-11 with riddles, mysteries, and problem solving.
8am Pacific / 11am Eastern
In The Martian Explorations, three kids play the roles of Martian Squirrel, Martian Mouse, and Martian Mole as they set out on an adventure to make the red planet a better place.
It’s a live-streamed role-playing game with an emphasis on nonviolence solutions, riddles, problem solving, and empathy. The game is led by nationally touring storyteller and children’s educator Doctor Sparks, and the choices of the kids are brought to life with puppets and artwork by Matt Chilbert’s Anything Place studio.

Join Kelsey Derringer to learn to code and make robots!
Dottie has been around a long time. She has seen more and learned more than you or I could possibly imagine. Unfortunately, her hard drive has gotten a bit finicky over the years. Help bring Dottie’s memories to life through coding and robotics.Join the CodeJoy classroom to learn the basics of coding. No special hardware is needed to interact with our in-studio robots.
MATERIALS:
- If you have 2 devices, it may be a good idea to code on one and watch on another. MakeCode works best on a Chromebook or laptop.
