Yana and Egbert applies research from Professor Laura Schulz’s Early Childhood Cognition Lab in the MIT Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences on how young children learn about scientific thinking. This cartoon-live action blend series, produced in collaboration with Planet Nutshell and Utah Public TV, is designed to encourage preschoolers and their parents to think like scientists. Join 6-year-old Yana as she and her cartoon hippo and ostrich friends learn about experiments, sampling, and evidence through disappearing hot dogs and gum ball machines!
