The Kids Crew visit with producers and a young voice actor from PBS Kids Work It Out Wombats, which teaches kids about computational thinking, and problem solving in systematic, organized ways.

We meet Work It Out Wombats Producer Marisa Wolsky from GBH, Creative Producer, Dr. Kareem Edouard, and Rain Janjua, a 9 year old voice actor and model from Ontario, Canada who plays the voice of Zeke. The Kids Crew want to know how the show is made, and what the process entails. We also learn about computational thinking, and how it can help prepare kids of today for the world of tomorrow.
