Introduce foundational computational thinking concepts to your early learners with a new animated series from PBS KIDS, Lyla In The Loop!
Premiering February 5, 2024, Lyla in the Loop will help young learners learn to solve problems one step at a time with Lyla, Stu, and the rest of the crew from the show.
This brand-new series, debuting in both English and Spanish, follows 7-year-old Lyla, her fantastical blue sidekick Stu, family, and friends as they try to solve everyday mishaps, messes, and mix-ups. The show highlights Lyla's love for creative problem-solving and critical thinking as she invents and tests imaginative contraptions, leading to both clever solutions and comedic disasters. As with all PBS KIDS shows, Lyla In the Loop was developed and created with specific learning goals in mind, making them perfect for use in your classrooms.
Lyla In The Loop focuses on:
- Computational Thinking Skills & Mindsets
- Executive Function & Social Emotional Skills
- World of Work Knowledge
Be on the lookout for Educator materials to go live on PBS LearningMedia after the show's premiere! You can expect video clips, teaching resources with home connections, and even Lyla In The Loop Camp resources! These materials will all be available in English and Spanish.
The fun doesn't stop when the TV turns off! Lyla In the Loop has a website and resources that get parents and caregivers in on the action. It's a tag team effort, y’all! So, share with families to keep the learning going strong at home.
We can’t wait to see how you “step it out and break it down” with your students, families, parents, and caregivers. Happy Learning!
