Big questions. Curious kids. Science adventures!
Join curious explorer Emma, her wise feathered mentor Dr. Owl 🦉, and their goofy robot sidekick Ziggy 🤖 as they explore the amazing world of STEM—Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.
Each bite-sized episode starts with a question kids actually wonder about: How do birds fly? Why do we dream? What makes volcanoes erupt? Why do some people get carsick? Then Emma, Dr. Owl, and Ziggy turn the answer into a fun, easy-to-follow adventure filled with surprising facts, silly moments, and plenty of “Whoa!”
Along the way, we answer questions sent in by young listeners from around the world—including special Ziggy’s Mailbag episodes inspired by their curiosity.
Our goal is simple: help kids keep asking why, how, and what if? Because STEM isn’t just something you learn in school. It’s hiding everywhere—from your backyard and your breakfast to your body, the weather, and the stars above. 🌎🔬🚀
For curious kids ages 5–9 — and anyone who loves asking questions.
