An epic exploration of possibilities, for kids.

What If Kids is an original kids show created and developed in partnership with Embreate and produced by the digital-first media company Underknown. It’s a show that asks hypothetical questions anchored in the simple 'what if' premise to open the gateway to science learning for young people.

 
 

About the web series

The show is hosted by Cosmo, a 3D animated robot from another planet that takes young viewers on a journey of scientific discovery. Each episode is curricula-based (grades 1 to 4), covering biology, structures and mechanisms, matter and energy, and Earth and space science. Cosmo is learning with the help of real kids that are the experts in each field. At the end of each video, Cosmo shares a fun exercise kids can demonstrate to their families using common objects found around the house.
