Exploring By the Seat of Your Pants is partnering with I Was a Kid to create live video events about our profilees. Tune in for the live event, and afterward on their YouTube channel or on I Was a Kid’s profile pages.
Founded and directed by National Geographic Explorer Joe Grabowski, EBTSOYP follows scientists as they go about their business from their home labs to extreme locations in the field. In these 45-minute videos, the stars share the excitement of the work they’re doing, and answer kids’ questions and comments. What a great opportunity to inspire — and I Was a Kid is thrilled to be part of it.
